Dandelion wine

Book • 1957
Written by Ray Bradbury, 'Dandelion Wine' is a collection of connected short stories that are loosely based on the author’s memories of his own childhood.

The narrative follows Douglas Spaulding, a 12-year-old boy, as he experiences the magical and often surreal summer of 1928 in Green Town, Illinois.

The story delves into themes of nostalgia, the wonders and fears of childhood, and the transition from childhood to adulthood.

It includes elements of fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and magical realism, and is the first volume in the 'Green Town' trilogy.

The dandelion wine, made by Douglas and his family, serves as a symbol of the beauty and memory of summer.
