Wine from Dandelions

Bright, fantastic summer of 1928: twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding keeps records of the events of that summer, which form separate stories, grotesque distortions of the ordinary everyday life of the small town where Douglas and his family live. There, everything seems different from what it is, and the power of a child's imagination creates a new reality that is indistinguishable from fiction.

Grown from separate tales, exquisite in their lyricism, the novel "Wine from Dandelions" is a classic chronicle of childhood by Ray Bradbury, a window into the creative world of the writer who created such masterpieces of world literature as "The Martian Chronicles" and "Fahrenheit 451".
