Farewell Summer: Signed Edition – Ray Bradbury (Subterranean Press)

Description

“This poignant, wise but slight “extension” of the indefatigable Bradbury’s semiautobiographical Dandelion Wine picks up the story of 12-year-old Douglas Spaulding in October of 1928, when the warmth of summer still clings to Green Town, Ill. As in his episodic 1957 novel, Bradbury evokes the rhythms of a long-gone smalltown America with short, swift chapters that build to a lyrical meditation on aging and death… Bradbury’s mature but fresh return to his beloved early writing conveys a depth of feeling.”
