'Bradbury has a remarkable range of intensity and vision' Sunday Times
‘A haunting, nostalgic novel... DANDELION WINE is among the best of his earthbound works... He wrote about life on this planet in a richly poetic style that often makes the familiar world seem as fantastic and mysterious as the distant future or outer space.’
Washington Post
‘Bradbury at his best.’
Washington Post Book World
'It is impossible not to admire the vigour of his prose, similes and metaphors constantly cascading from his imagination' Spectator
‘No other writer uses language with greater originality and zest. he seems to be a American Dylan Thomas – with dsicipline’ Sunday Telegraph

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. An endearing classic of childhood memories of an idyllic midwestern summer from the celebrated author of Farenheit 451. "He stood at the open window in the dark, took a deep breath and exhaled.The street lights, like candles on a black cake, went out.He exhaled again and again and the stars began to vanish.Douglas smiled. He pointed a finger.There, and there. Now over here, and hereYellow squares were cut in the dim morning earth as house lights winked slowly on. A sprinkle of windows came suddenly alight miles off in dawn country.'Everyone yawn. Everyone up.'"In the backwaters of Illinois, Douglas Spaulding's grandfather makes an intoxicating brew from harvested dandelions. Dandelion Wine is a quirky, breathtaking coming-of-age story from one of science fiction's greatest writers. Distilling his experiences into "Rites & Ceremonies" and "Discoveries & Revelations", the young Spaulding wistfully ponders over magical tennis shoes, and machines for every purpose from time travel to happiness and silent travel.Based upon Bradbury's own experiences growing up in Waukegan in the 1920s, Dandelion Wine is a heady mixture of fond memory, forgiveness, magic, the imagination and above all, of summers that seemed to go on forever. An endearing classic of childhood memories of an idyllic midwestern summer from the celebrated author of Farenheit 451.
