London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1957. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 8" by 5.5". None. A smart first UK edition of this coming of age novel by American writer Ray Bradbury, lacking the original dust wrapper. First UK edition. The first novel of the Green Town Trilogy. A coming of age novel set in the fictional town of Green Town, Illinois, based upon Bradbury's childhood home of Waukegan, Illinois. The novel centers on the routines of small-town American and the simple things, with dandelion wine, as made by the protagonist's grandfather, serving as a metaphor for distilling all of the joys of summer. Written by Ray Douglas Bradbury, an American author and screenwriter considered one of the most celebrated writers of the twentieth century. In the original burgundy cloth binding. Externally, smart with minor rubbing and light bumping to the extremities. Light fading to the spine and the odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd handling mark and light spotting to the endpapers. Very Good
