!! ''Farewell Summer'' provides examples of the following:
* GrandFinale: To Ray Bradbury's works in general. We see his characters trying to stop time, with others advising them that all good things must come to an end, and return in cycles. It reads like Ray Bradbury's farewell letter to the audience.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The boys, led by Doug, believe that if they steal the town clock, then it will be summer forever. While school still happens, the boys still realize they have to put the clock back so that the status quo can resume with minimal fuss.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The adults, minus Mr. Quartermain, aren't actually mad about the kids starting a war in a bit to stop time and make summer last forever. They try to advise Doug that things come to an end, and it's a fact of life.

* SeasonalBaggage: Being a book about summer, Dandelion Wine is loaded with references to picking berries, porch swings, freshly mowed lawns, 4th of July firecrackers, and other things traditionally associated with summer.
* SerialKiller: The enigmatic Lonely One, who's preyed upon random victims for a few years. Possibly killed after finally choosing the wrong woman's home to invade, though the boys of the town speculate that since the perpetrator didn't look like how they imagined the Lonely One to be, that it probably wasn't him. Tom, uneasy, worries that their imaginings just might have ensured the Lonely One -is- still out there...

A departure from Creator/RayBradbury’s typical science fiction work, Dandelion Wine is a nostalgic and semi-autobiographical novel based on the author’s boyhood in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waukegan,_Illinois/ Waukegan, Illinois]]. It offers vivid details of small town life in 1920’s America in what can be described as a Norman Rockwell painting in book form.
