Ray Bradbury is a painter who uses words rather than brushes--for he
created lasting visual images that, once observed, are impossible to
forget. Sinister mushrooms growing in a dank cellar. A family's first
glimpse at Martians. A wonderful white vanilla ice-cream summer suit
that changes everyone who wears it. A great artist drawing in the sand
on the beach. A clunky contraption made out of household implements to
help some kids play a game called Invasion. The most marvelous Christmas
display a little boy ever saw. All those images and many more are inside
this book, a new trade edition of thirty-one of Bradbury's most
arresting tales--timeless short fiction that ranges from the farthest
reaches of space to the innermost stirrings of the heart. Ray Bradbury
is known worldwide as one of the century's great men of imagination.
