A NOTE ABOUT THE
AUTHOR
Ray Bradbury has published some twenty-seven books—novels,
stories, plays, essays, and poems—since his first story appeared
when he was twenty years old.
He began writing for the movies in
1952—with the script for his own Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.
The next year he wrote the screenplays for It Came from Outer
Space and Moby Dick.
And in 1961 he wrote Orson Welles s
narration for King ofKings.
Films have been made of his "The
Picasso Summer," The IllustratedMan, Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, and the
short animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright, based on his story
of the history of flight, was nominated for an Academy Award.
Since 1985 he has adapted his stories for "The Ray Bradbury
Theater" on USA Cable television.
