Dandelion Wine

Author: Ray Bradbury

Dandelion Wine is a nostalgic journey through the eyes of 12-year-old Douglas Spaulding in 1928 Green Town, Illinois. Bradbury’s lyrical prose captures the magic of childhood summers, where every day is an adventure. From the thrill of new sneakers to the bittersweet realization of mortality, Douglas experiences life’s joys and sorrows. The novel’s episodic structure feels like flipping through a cherished photo album, each vignette a snapshot of small-town Americana. It’s a book that makes you long for simpler times and reminds you to savor life’s fleeting moments.

Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way.
