[and] for the full-on audio production, which makes this one of the most lively and energetic Bradbury productions for many years." —Phil Nichols, Bradbury scholar Blackstone Audio is pleased to present Ray Bradbury’s endearing, lyrical tale of boyhood and an idyllic Midwestern summer, presented here as a full-cast audio dramatization by The Colonial Theatre on the Air, complete with sound effects and a brilliant music score by Jeffrey Gage. Twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding knows Green Town, Illinois, is as vast and deep as the whole world that lies beyond. It is a pair of new tennis shoes, the first harvest of dandelions for Grandfather’s renowned intoxicant, the distant clang of the trolley bell on a hazy afternoon. But as young Douglas is about to discover, summer can be more than the repetition of established rituals that hold time at bay. It can be a best friend moving away, a human time machine who can transport you back to the Civil War, or a sideshow automaton able to glimpse the bittersweet future.
