Description
A poignant and brilliant sequel to Dandelion Wine, Farewell Summer is the second book in Ray Bradbury's semi-fictionalised account of his childhood. In this novel, Douglas Spaulding finds himself at the centre of a small civil war between the old and the young in Green Town Illinois. As the school board's figure of authority, Mr Calvin C. Quartermain, attempts to outwit the boys at every turn, their antics become increasingly daring and mischievous. But as winter draws across the town, the boys come to realise that their enemy is not just the senior members of their community, but time itself. With a bold attempt to sabotage the town's clock, the boys take a stand against the relentless passage of time, in a bid to preserve their youth and freedom.
