Books with title Dandelion Wine

Excerpt from Dandelion DaysMy Dear Dakers, - F0r some time past I have been undecided whether to let you see this letter before you read the tale. My original intention was to attach it to the end of the story, lest its presence at the beginning might deter you from reading the book. Upon reflection, however, I have decided to be honest with you, to put my faith in your patience.You may remember myself coming to see you, a year after the end of the war, with the manuscript of a book hidden in an old army blanket. The blanket was not recognisable as such, since with considerable skill I had fashioned an overcoat from it the script I had written during three weeks of fierce mid nights and famishing morrows, following an almost intolerable pain. Nevertheless, you managed to read approximately words of my tale. The kindly encouragement you gave me, the hopes you aroused, and most of all, your friendship, were directly responsible for my eventual retirement to the remote country, there to devote all my time and energy to the recasting of my whole scheme and the selection of characters and episodes that would bear their part in its presentation. I realised many things that I might have to starve that most things that make youth enjoyable I must forgo. (however, I made some good friends in Devon, so I did not mind having but one meal a day). It was borne upon me that one volume could not possibly contain all I had to say, unless that volume were as big as the post-war Who's Who, and rivalry with such an immense work of fiction would be both fatuous and foolish. But we have discussed this on many occasions, and as you must be weary of it, I will not exhaust you with further reminiscence.Willie M addison, I imagine, is nearly eighteen years of age when he stands at the eastern edge of the spinney and bids fare well to the fields and the trees which he has known for so long.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Dandelions are weeds to some’, but to many they are a source of good things like caffeine-free coffee, tea and herbal remedies.

It was a dream...or a premonition. Either way, Melanie Cuyler will change whatever she has to make sure it doesn't come true. As a sweet, southern girl, Melanie Cuyler doesn't drink or smoke. As a matter of fact, she doesn't do much of anything. Mostly because she doesn't have anyone to do it with. Except KC Onassis, her best friend since childhood. But somehow, this year's highlight reel of unfortunate events--coffee spilled on the quartback, a cupcake smashed into the seat of her pants, an unrequited kiss, and her mother's death--are too much for Melanie to overcome. It's the end of her world. Unable to face the future without her mother or her best friend, Melanie makes a wish for a second chance. And what a second chance it is!
