A Summer Remembered

After almost fifty years, Ray Bradbury has finally written a sequel to his nostalgic classic, Dandelion Wine. For those readers who love the story of Douglas Spaulding and the summer of 1928 in Green Town, Illinois, Bradbury's continuation, Farewell Summer, will hopefully be a welcome return to that memorable time. Farewell Summer takes place in the autumn of 1928 picking up exactly where Dandelion Wine left off. I have not read the book yet. I am expecting something exceptional, however, because if there is any subject Bradbury handles better than summer, it is autumn.
