Dandelion Wine Excerpt
"Well, he felt sorry for the boys who lived in California where they wore tennis shoes all year and never knew what it was to get winter off your feet, peel off the iron leather shoes full of snow and rain and run barefoot for a day and then lace on the first new tennis shoes of the season, which was better than barefoot. the magic was always in the new pair of shoes. The magic might die by the first of September, but now in late June there was plenty of magic, and shoes like these could jump you over trees and rivers and houses."
