About this listen

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. All those images and many more are inside this book, 31 of Bradbury's most arresting tales - timeless short fiction that ranges from the farthest reaches of space to the innermost stirrings of the heart.

Pretty good collection. Heard one or 2 stories in other Bradbury collections. Doesn’t reach the heights of The Martian Chronicles or The Illustrated Man but pretty good.
