"Journey Into Dandelion Wine Country is a worthy tribute to one of our greatest living authors, but it doesn't need that association to stand out as a work of fine fiction. Gordon has the touch and the voice and the imagination to raise him one day up into the ranks of his icons. Read this collection and you'll feel the desire for more. Somehow, with Alan Ira Gordon you know it will never be "more of the same."
