Farewell Summer
Last updated October 31, 2026
By Ray Bradbury
This sequel to Dandelion Wine returns to Green Town, Illinois, in the autumn of 1929. Douglas Spaulding, a year older, leads the town's boys in a war against the old men who seem to run everything. The battle, fought with pranks and secret plans, becomes a struggle against time itself. Ray Bradbury explores the moment when childhood begins to end, and Douglas starts to see the old men, and his own future, in a new light.
