![]() ![]() Unlike anything else, Bradbury has so directly and credibly touched you. ![]() ![]() What is this leading to? Yes, yes, the Green Machine and our Colonel Freeleigh and dear, dear Helen Loomis and Great-Grandma still up at her spirits shingling that Spaulding roof, but then it hits you. Steaming, golden summer has been poured into these pages, and amongst seemingly disconnected events of misery, profound thought, and something else, one comes to terms with why. This novel does not tackle life with a chip on its shoulder, it embraces it with a warm hug. According to Time, “Bradbury is an authentic original,” wholeheartedly capturing the spirit of Douglas Spaulding’s innocent soul. Dandelion Wine is a rich text filled with magnificent emotions that go beyond its sunny complexion. Written by Ray Bradbury and published in 1957 as a “childhood memoir,” this piece of literature is a masterpiece that gets better with age – like a good wine, you could say. He will undergo an unprecedented journey of shocking maturity as things in Green Town pick up, dance about, and then flicker away – all in the essence of summer. For Douglas Spaulding, that is precisely the case, and he can sense there is something else in the air when the summer of 1928 commences. There is nothing more magical than a childhood summer. ![]()
