Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury

mrslankford's review against another edition

Beautiful and poignant

A far cry from Ray Bradbury’s science fiction works, but so absolutely beautifully written. This semi-autobiographical remembrance of summer 1928 is sweet, innocent, insightful. His prose is poetic and so descriptive that you feel as if you are living the memories with him.

I was surprised by how much I loved this book. I don't think I've felt so impacted by any other book so far.

A fun collection of stories, full of whimsical descriptions. My wife was captivated by the lyrical wording, I didn't feel a strong connection with it.
