Discussion: Dandelion Wine
For October’s meeting of the Info Island Book Club, we’ll be discussing Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine: Although Bradbury is known primarily for his works of science fiction, this charming novel of small town life set in a fictionalized Waukegan, Illinois, falls more into the category of magical realism.
