The orange and California have romanced each other for what seems like forever. Cloaked in mystery and available only to the elite until modern times, the orange has been known as the fruit of the gods, a token of gratitude, and the symbol of health, wealth, and love. the dream of California envisions the place of plenty, of potential, of personal opportunity. Symbolic of this California dream is the orange, in all its golden glory.

The Orange and the Dream of California takes a lively, literary, and extraordinarily visual look at this colorful and captivating history, revealing the tremendous impact of the "golden apple" on the culture and development of the golden State, and how these two entities have built on each other to feed the world's imagination and conjure a compelling fantasy.

The Orange and the Dream of California is written by David Boulé, who for decades has scoured ephemera shows, flea markets, antique stores, libraries, museums, and bookshops to collect material on the California citrus industry. his research shows how California and the orange came to be forever intertwined. Boulé has lectured on the topic and his collection has been featured in several exhibitions. Only now has his work been compiled in a landmark book, The Orange and the Dream of California.
