About the book: 2009 / Everyone knows “Dandelion Wine” very well - a classic work by Ray Bradbury, included in the golden fund of world literature. And we had to wait half a century for its continuation! The novel “Farewell Summer” began in the same 1957, when the “Dandelion Wine” submitted to the publishing house seemed too long to the editor and he asked Bradbury to remove the final part. For fifty years this “tail” lived its own life, developed and rewritten, until it grew into a full-fledged novel that you are holding in your hands.
