Bradbury's writing still evokes the magical escapism that was exciting as a pre-pubescent. ( ) This collection, first published in 1959 collects stories published in a variety of publications between 1948 and 1959 as well as many stories original to this collection, such as the title story. It is one of many collections of Bradbury's short fiction. Quite a few, probably most of these stories, are simply stories - neither science fiction nor fantasy. There are several true gems by Bradbury in here, such as"The Smile" and "Dark They Were, and Golden Eyed" which a friend of mine summarizes as "The colonizers colonized. The quiet, patient persistence of indigenous culture. The power of place.". This same friend tells me she read this in 8th grade and was immediately under the spell of it. I remember my daughter's middle school English text had a selection of Bradbury stories in it which quite pleased me. Me being me I of course had already introduced her to Bradbury's stories via audiotapes from our library that were read by Bradbury, including at least one that appears in this collection. With 22 stories there is pretty much something for everyone, even though a few are lesser creations among the great ones. The opening story about a man and Picasso on a beach captured me immediately. •1 • In a Season of Calm Weather • (1957) •7 • The Dragon • (1955) •11 • A Medicine for Melancholy • (1959) •21 • The End of the Beginning • (1956) (orig title: Next Stop: The Stars) •27 • The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit • (1958) (Orig title: The Magic White Suit in the Saturday Evening Post) •51 • Fever Dream • (1948) • (aka Night Lights) •59 • The Marriage Mender • (1954) •64 • The Town Where No One Got Off • (1958) •73 • A Scent of Sarsaparilla • (1953) •80 • Icarus Montgolfier Wright • (1956) •85 • The Headpiece • (1958) • •95 • Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed • (1949) (orig title: The Naming of names) •110 • The Smile • The Time Vault • (1952) •116 • The First Night of Lent • (1956) •124 • The Time of Going Away • (1956) •131 • All Summer in a Day • (1954) •138 • The Gift • (1952) • •141 • The Great Collision of Monday Last • (1958) (orig title: Collision of Monday) •148 • The Little Mice • (1955) •154 • The Sunset Harp • (1959) •164 • The Strawberry Window • (1955) •173 • The Day It Rained Forever • (1957) Indeholder "In a Season of Calm Weather", "The Dragon", "A Medicine for Melancholy ", "The End of the Beginning", "The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit", "Fever Dream", "The Marriage Mender", "The Town Where No One Got Off", "A Scent of Sarsaparilla", "Icarus Montgolfier Wright", "The Headpiece", "Dark They Were and Golden-eyed", "The Smile", "The First Night of Lent", "The Time of Going Away", "All Summer in a Day", "The Gift", "The Great Colliaion of Monday last", "The Little Mice", "The Shore Line at Sunset", "The Strawberry Window", "The Day It Rained Forever".
