DANDELION WINE: 50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION by Ray Bradbury, intro by Stephen King. Hornsea, East Yorkshire, UK; PS Publishing; 2007. 1st hardcover thus. Synopsis / Contents: PS Publishing is proud to present the 50th Anniversary edition of Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. You do things and you don't watch... then, all of a sudden, you look at what you're doing and it's like the very first time. It happens to everyone at least once. And while it lasts, the ordinary business of living becomes a magical series of discoveries and revelations. It happened to Douglas Spalding the summer he was twelve years old... the summer of 1928, when he discovered that he was truly alive and he yelled it a dozen times in celebration. Ray Bradbury's wondrous novel of inter-connected stories and vignettes depicts what is truly a vintage summer for a growing boy. A summer of green apple trees, mowed lawns and new sneakers... of gathering dandelions, of Grandma's belly-busting dinners. A season of sorrows and marvels alike. With a brand new introduction by Stephen King, this 50th Anniversary production of Dandelion Wine includes all the original illustrations that accompanied the individual stories when they first saw print in the magazines of the 1940s and '50s.
