About this listen
Ray Bradbury's moving recollection of a vanished golden era remains one of his most enchanting novels. Dandelion Wine stands out in the Bradbury literary canon as the author's most deeply personal work, a semi-autobiographical recollection of a magical small-town summer in 1928.
Twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding knows Green Town, Illinois, is as vast and deep as the whole wide world that lies beyond the city limits. It is a pair of brand-new tennis shoes, the first harvest of dandelions for Grandfather's renowned intoxicant, the distant clang of the trolley's bell on a hazy afternoon. It is yesteryear and tomorrow blended into an unforgettable always.
But as young Douglas is about to discover, summer can be more than the repetition of established rituals whose mystical power holds time at bay. It can be a best friend moving away, a human time machine who can transport you back to the Civil War, or a sideshow automaton able to glimpse the bittersweet future. Come and savor Ray Bradbury's priceless distillation of all that is eternal about boyhood and summer.

Superb perfect narration of beautiful book
Dandelion Wine is exquisite and true. This narrator, David Aaron Baker, has told Bradbury’s story with such perfection. Each character has their own natural voice. Every version is lovely but Baker delicately captures the old and the young with finely delivered pacing and gentleness. Baker gives the children their authentic voices. He must be one of those rare people, like Bradbury, who can call up their own memories of being child. Thank you Mr Baker. I will be listening to this book over many summers to come.

Take me back to Green Town
Long been a favourite and this is the first time I've had it read to me. A wonderful reading of a magical novel.
