DETAILS

Science fiction, fantasy, small town life and small town people are the materials from which Ray Bradbury weaves his unique and magical stories of the natural and the supernatural, the past, the present and the future. There are spaceship and dragons, time machines, new planets, and new science, but it is real people reacting in their personal human ways to the phenomena of a strange world that give these stories the haunting beauty that won critical acclaim for Bradbury s books.

In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury has inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time.
