About this listen

 Ray Bradbury's endearing, lyrical tale of boyhood and an idyllic Midwestern summer is presented here as a full-cast audio dramatization by The Colonial Theatre on the Air, complete with sound effects and a brilliant musical score.

Twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding knows Green Town, Illinois, is as vast and deep as the whole world that lies beyond. It is a pair of new tennis shoes, the first harvest of dandelions for Grandfather's renowned intoxicant, the distant clang of the trolley bell on a hazy afternoon. But as young Douglas is about to discover, summer can be more than the repetition of established rituals that hold 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.

Critic reviews

"I've just played for the second time your productionof Dandelion Wine, and it's fabulous. I'm so veryproud of it. In fact, it made me weep. In your ownway, you've told me that I have a chance of part of meliving beyond the day that I leave this earth. Thisproduction is simply incredible." (Ray Bradbury)
