Dandelion Wine The summer of '28 was a vintage season for a growing boy. A summer of green apple trees, mowed lawns, and new sneakers. Of half-burnt firecrackers, of gathering dandelions, of Grandma's belly-busting dinner. It was a summer of sorrows and marvels and gold-fuzzed bees. A magical, timeless summer in the life of a twelve-year-old boy named Douglas Spaulding - remembered forever by the incomparable Ray Bradbury 'Bradbury earned the respect of his peers years ago by simply being the best in his field' Starburst
'Ray Bradbury has long been streets ahead of anyone else' Daily Telegraph
Paperback - Earthlight (2000)
The Halloween Tree A thousand pumpkin smiles look down from the Halloween Tree, and twice-times-a-thousand fresh-cut eyes glare and wink and blink, as Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud leads the eight children – no, nine; but where is Pipkin? – on a leaf-tossed, kite-flying, gliding, broomstick-riding trip to learn the secret of All Hallow’s Eve.
And they do.
