Dandelion Wine is a 1957 novel by Ray Bradbury, taking place in the summer of 1928 in the fictional town of Green Town, Illinois, based upon Bradbury's childhood home of Waukegan, Illinois. The novel developed from the short story 'Dandelion Wine' which appeared in the June 1953 issue of Gourmet magazine. The book is essentially a series of loosely related, nostalgic vignettes about the protagonist Douglas Spaulding and his family and friends, and their experiences over the course of the summer.
