Denny Bradshaw Chair, Philosophy and Humanities Department	Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury Bradbury deftly captures the nature of the small-town Midwestern summer.  Over the years, I have returned to this book again and again...typically early in the month of June...to relive and recall what used to seem to me a quite magical time, when school was out, days were warm, and nights were cool.  Also, since my Midwestern summers were spent in Minnesota, it  was a time to savor the green grass after having just endured some seven to nine months with snow on the ground!  Bradbury, in writing about a summer in Illinois in 1928, also manages to give a taste of what those summers were like to which my parents and grandparents oft referred. Truly, it's a marvel of a book. -- Denny Bradshaw
