About This Novel
"Dandelion Wine" is a collection of childhood stories by science fiction master Bradbury. It records the daily life in a small town full of whimsy and relives a period of youth that neither curls up nor lies down. The protagonist of the story is Douglas, a 12-year-old boy who makes dandelion wine with his grandfather every summer. Dandelion wine is "summer on the tip of the tongue", putting all the joy into a bottle and fermenting it into a panacea for growth and cold winter. Summer is the green apple trees, the mowed lawn that exudes the smell of fresh grass, a new pair of sneakers that can make people fly, the distant tram bell in the hazy afternoon; it can also be the departure of a best friend, a puzzling old girl and her A childhood treasure, a happiness machine that can predict the future, a high fever that brushes against death... All these make the boy feel the joy of "living" like never before, with miracles, sentimentality, forgiveness, magic, fantasy, and a never-ending summer.
