I have written about the origin and history of this book on my blog - click here to read. As with most of Bradbury's novels, Dandelion Wine is a fix-up of many short stories. The table below shows all the source stories, some of which were first published in a very different form from how they appear in the novel. For example, "The Season of Sitting" was originally a first- person sketch, an apparently autobiographical account; in the novel, the viewpoint is switched to one of Bradbury's characters, and is told in third-person. To date, there has been only one film adaptation of Dandelion Wine - the Russian Vino iz oduvanchikov (1997). However, Bradbury announced in July 2007 that he had been working on a screenplay for a new adaptation - also to be made in Russia. Fifty years after the publication of Dandelion Wine, Bradbury finally released the sequel, Farewell Summer, plus a collection of other Green Town stories (Summer Morning, Summer Night) which had never found a home in either of the two main books. |
