Dandelion Wine Bradbury, Ray Fantasy

Octavo. cloth. Set in small town America in the summer of 1928, a time right before the Great Depression and WW II. "A bucolic evocation of Bradbury's youth through rose-colored glasses. Though not strictly fantastic, this poetic blend of nostalgia and ever-so-slightly macabre happenings defines the author's view of the past as a country of the bizarre and the wonderful, and is central to Bradbury's fantasy world." - Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 4A-44. "The poignant quality of Bradbury's writing, the evocative elements that will capture others than his usual audience, combine to make this an unusual reading experience." Kirkus Review 1 March 1975 (from a new release). Pringle, Modern Fantasy: The Hundred Best Novels 19. A fine copy in a very good to nearly fine dust jacket with mild rubbing along upper edge with a tiny chip to front panel, tiny tear to rear pane, slight rubbing and wear to base of spine panel which shows some toning, toning to rear panel.
