An unabashed romantic, his first novel in 1957 was basically a love letter to his childhood. (For those who want to undertake an even more evocative look at the dark side of youth, five years later the author would write the chilling classic <I>Something Wicked This Way Comes</I>.) <p> <I>Dandelion Wine</I> takes us into the summer of 1928, and to all the wondrous and magical events in the life of a 12-year-old Midwestern boy named Douglas Spaulding. This tender, openly affectionate story of a young man's voyage of discovery is certainly more mainstream than exotic. No walking dead or spaceships to Mars here. Yet those who wish to experience the unique magic of early Bradbury as a prose stylist should find <I>Dandelion Wine</I> most refreshing. <I>--Stanley Wiater</I> 1627774 book 1957 Dandelion Wine total:6119|5:2173|4:2143|3:1388|2:308|1:107| 6119 24324 8196 670 50033 0671037706 9780671037703 5018 494 3.98 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170366282m/50033.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50033.Dandelion_Wine 5 12 false Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Tue Oct 16 15:17:27 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 16 15:19:30 -0700 2007 Dandelion Wine.
