Douglas Spaulding is in the midst of a small civil war with the old pitted against the young in this. the second book in Bradbury's semi-fictionalised account of his childhood.As the school board's figure of authority Mr Calvin C.Quartermain attempts to outwit the boys at every turn. their antics increase and become ever more daring and mischevious.Once the shadow of winter draws across Green Town. the boys quickly realise that their enemy is not so much the senior members of their own community. but rather time itself which is ever ebbing away. just beyond the reach of their most daring trick yet: a bold attempt to sabotage the town's clock.

Everyone knows "Dandelion Wine" - a classic work by Ray Bradbury, which has entered the golden fund of world literature. We had to wait half a century for its sequel! In fact, the novel "Farewell Summer" originates in the same 1957, when the "Dandelion Wine" submitted to the publisher seemed too long to the editor and he asked Bradbury to remove the final part. Over the past fifty years, this "tail" lived its own life, developed and was rewritten, until it grew into a full-fledged novel, which is here.

Ray Bradbury (1920-2012), one of the most popular science fiction writers in the world, wrote more than five hundred short stories, novels, plays, and poems. He won many awards, including the National Book Award and the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
