An endearing classic of childhood memories of an idyllic midwestern summer from the celebrated author of ‘Farenheit 451’."He stood at the open window in the dark, took a deep breath and exhaled.The street lights, like candles on a black cake, went out.He exhaled again and again and the stars began to vanish.Douglas smiled. He pointed a finger.There, and there. Now over here, and here…Yellow squares were cut in the dim morning earth as house lights winked slowly on. A sprinkle of windows came suddenly alight miles off in dawn country.'Everyone yawn. Everyone up.'"In the backwaters of Illinois, Douglas Spaulding's grandfather makes an intoxicating brew from harvested dandelions. ‘Dandelion Wine’ is a quirky, breathtaking coming-of-age story from one of science fiction's greatest writers. Distilling his experiences into «Rites & Ceremonies» and «Discoveries & Revelations», the young Spaulding wistfully ponders over magical tennis shoes, and machines for every purpose from time travel to happiness and silent travel.Based upon Bradbury's own experiences growing up in Waukegan in the 1920s, ‘Dandelion Wine’ is a heady mixture of fond memory, forgiveness, magic, the imagination and above all, of summers that seemed to go on forever.

And while her childhood home on the Thames-side island idyll is exactly the same retreat from the urban bustle of London she remembers, Annie’s not convinced that Owner of The Dandelion Cafe is a title she’ll be keeping for long. Not that she can bear the idea of letting her dedicated, if endearingly disorganized staff lose their jobs. Plus cafe life does also have the added bonus of working a stone’s throw away from millionaire Matt and his disarmingly charming smile!One (shoestring budget) cafe makeover, a few delightful additions to the somewhat retro menu and a lot of cherry pie tastings later, The Dandelion Cafe is ready for its grand reopening! But once she’s brought the dilapidated old cafe back to life, Annie finds herself wishing her stay on the island was just a bit longer. She always intended to go back to the big city…but could island living finally have lured her back home for good?Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond, Sophie Kinsella and Cathy Bramley.The Cherry Pie Island seriesThe Grand Reopening of Dandelion Cafe – Book 1The Vintage Ice Cream Van Road Trip – Book 2The Great Allotment Challenge – Book 3One Summer Night at the Ritz – Book 4The Grand Reopening of Dandelion Cafe is Book 1 in The Cherry Pie Island series.Each part of Cherry Pie Island can be read and enjoyed as a standalone story – or as part of the utterly delightful series.Praise for Jenny Oliver'I thoroughly enjoyed this book it had a sprinkling of festivity, a touch of romance and a glorious amount of mouth-watering baking!' – Rea Book Review on The Parisian Christmas Bake Off'With gorgeous descriptions of Paris, Christmas, copious amounts of delicious baking that’ll make your mouth water, and lots and lots of snow – what more could you ask for from a Christmas novel!' – Bookboodle on The Parisian Christmas Bake Off'The baking part of the book is incredibly well written; fans of The Great British Bake Off will not be disappointed to see all their favourites in here!
