Publisher's Summary

Ray Bradbury is a modern cultural treasure. His disarming simplicity of style underlies a towering body of work unmatched in metaphorical power by any other American storyteller. And here are 32 of his most famous tales - prime examples of the poignant and mysterious poetry that Bradbury uniquely uncovers in the depths of the human soul, the otherwordly portraits that spring from the canvas of one of the century's great men of imagination.

From a lonely coastal lighthouse to a 60-million-year-old safari, from the pouring rain of Venus to the ominous silence of a murder scene, Ray Bradbury is our sure-handed guide not only to surprising and outrageous manifestations of the future but also to the wonders of the present that we could never have imagined on our own.

    This is the omnibus edition originally known as Classic Stories 1: From The Golden Apples of the Sun and R is for Rocket, and later A Sound of Thunder and Other Stories.

    There are only 4 stories missing from the original collections: "The Pedestrian," "Invisible Boy," "Hail and Farewell" and "The Gift."

    These are truly two of Ray Bradbury's classic collections and the narration is terrific. I've found that the Trantor Audio versions of Bradbury's books to generally be the best versions available. A fantastic deal for 32 classic stories.
