The Dandelion Girl is one of my favorite stories. I felt that it was well written and filled my head with great imagery while I read it. I really enjoyed the ending too.
2nd read: Since I know what's going on, the second read allows me to feel the feeling between the two characters a little bit better. It's still a good read for me._____________________________ ビブリア古書堂の事件手帖3 〜栞子さんと消えない絆〜 (Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou #3) I got to know this book from another book that I read (mention above). In it, the main characters talk about this book and they didn't mention how the story end. I was curious.At first, it creep me out. A 40+ years old man falls in love with
Wow!, I fell in love with this story, it was so sweet and endearing. I first heard about this book while watching a Japanese Drama called "Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou" episode 8. I got curious when the female lead was explaining the story to the male lead - it sounded interesting. I finally looked it up and found it online. This would make a great romance movie.
3.5 stars"Day before yesterday I saw a rabbit, and yesterday a deer, and today, you."I'm not a huge fan of romance, but this little story was ok and I sure would've enjoyed it more had I not known the somewhat similar plot of The Time Traveller's Wife. But to be honest this honest and sweet little story worked way better for me that the drawn out aforementioned book.Sure, I predicted how it would end from the very beginning but heck I still kept reading till the very end and I even enjoyed it an...
This short story is why short stories are so beautiful. It was an apt example of why short stories should be appreciated even more.
"The Dandelion Girl" was mentioned in "Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou" TV show. It said this book was meant for marriage couple. And I was really curious about the story so I gave it a try. Mark, a middle-aged man, fall in love with the girl who time travels from the future back to 1961. But one day, she never shows up again and Mark has no clue to discover her. Then, as the story goes on, Mark finally found out the truth behind it.Admittedly I suck at time travelling things, but I really REALL...

OMG. I almost got slaughtered by this so captivating romantic story.
Day before yesterday I saw a rabbit, and yesterday a deer, and today, you.I heard of this book while reading Biblia Koshodō no Jiken Techō and got curious about the ending of two protagonists. I feel so lucky because Mikami En, the author of Biblia did not reveal the ending, so I have to find the book and read it myself. And now I completely satisfied, the love story is short but still romantic and tender. The twist at the end made me have to say wow. I never thought that a short book, written a...
I first read The Dandelion Girl in late Summer 1969. I found a worn out copy of the Years Best Science Fiction of 1961 underneath the filthy mattress in a rented room in a broken-down old beach hotel in Far Rockaway, Queens, in New York City. A truly wonderful collection of short stories that introduced me to many great science fiction writers but the one story that stuck with me was The Dandelion Girl. I was in a terrible state back then, broke, sick, badly wounded and pretty damned close to su...
As sweet as ever, and truly unforgettable.
A childhood love that I keep falling in love with over and over again each time I re-read it. Despite the simplicity of the short story, I've never forgotten it. I've re-read it at least 20 times since then and it just never gets old. Just like falling in love, I can't pinpoint why this story reverberates within my soul... it just does.
Wow.I too bought an ebook collection with this story from the reference in Clannad. It's a very simple romance about an older man on vacation who meets a much younger woman who claims to be from the future. But then there is the twist, and it is powerful. It surprised me, which is very rare for a story to do.I also want to say that there is more influence in Clannad from this than just the quote. The first meeting here is echoed in the first meeting of Tomoya and Nagisa with Nagisa standing with...
A lovely futuristic deja vu/fated/time loop love story.
Probably the most under the radar time travel story out there. A short yet beautiful tale.
"and today, you."You know how The Princess Bride begins with the line "This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it"? In a similar (but not identical) vein, this was my favorite short story long before I had read it, because I knew the quote at the top of this review -- "Day before yesterday I saw a rabbit, and yesterday a deer, and today, you.". For whatever reason, I had found the quote randomly while on a blog that was simply a collection of quotes, and loved the way...
why is this short story so romantic
I was reading a manga and one of the characters was seen reading a book with this title. Easily intrigued as I was, I went and googled it straight away, then found this short story. And I’m so glad that I did!
Romantic time-travel classic. First published (1961) in the old Saturday Evening Post.Working URL, for an archived copy of the SCI FICTION reprint:http://www.ida.liu.se/~tompe44/lsff-b...
The hold this story has had on me since I read it (after watching clannad) is hard to explain. It ties into the complicated romance that makes me at once believe in soulmates and also question it. The Dandelion girl is chained to what she did in the past...in the future and has only to anticipate what will happen. I can not shake the feeling that her husband only loved her again because of his realization of who she is. But is that also fated?
