Reviews

'Bradbury has a remarkable range of intensity and vision' Sunday Times 'A haunting, nostalgic novel! DANDELION WINE is among the best of his earthbound works! He wrote about life on this planet in a richly poetic style that often makes the familiar world seem as fantastic and mysterious as the distant future or outer space.' Washington Post 'Bradbury at his best.' Washington Post Book World 'It is impossible not to admire the vigour of his prose, similes and metaphors constantly cascading from his imagination' Spectator 'No other writer uses language with greater originality and zest. he seems to be a American Dylan Thomas -- with dsicipline' Sunday Telegraph
