ashleigh_k 's review for:

Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury

"I didn't know old ladies had first names!"

"And if you care to run across my front lawn tonight at about 11, if I'm still awake I'll fire off a civil war muscat at you. Will that satisfy your masculine urge for adventure?"

What a gentle, poetic, impactful and evocative book. The description of what it feels like to wear those new tennis shoes will live with me forever .
