Bradbury Ray
The Stories Of Ray Bradbury Read By The Author Audiobook Inscribed By Ray Bradbury To Forrest Ackerman
New York: Random House Audiobooks 1980. First Edition . Cassette Recording. Near Fine/Slipcase. Nine stories "The Emissary" "Fever Dream" "The Parrot Who Met Papa" "The Strawberry Window" "The Day It Rained Forever" "The Anthem Sprinters" "The Happiness Machine" "Long After Midnight" and "A Piece of Wood". "Read by the author. Random House. Two cassettes. The most histrionically skillful author since Dickens reads nine of his short stories including "The Anthem Sprinters" a veritable chorale of Irish accents "The Day It Rained Forever" and "The Strawberry Window" settlers on Mars yearning for their Midwest front porch. The tone tends toward the breathless but Bradbury's sheer energy and enthusiasm are contagious and the nine tales nicely reveal his range as a fantasist whose remembrance of things future is firmly rooted in the Middle-American recent past. " from review by Charles Champlin Los Angeles Times 1980. With a Christmas gift label on slipcase inscribing this in black marker to his friend since 1938 Forrest Ackerman and his wife Wendayne: "4E! WENDY! LOVE IN THE HOLIDAYS! 1980! - Ray Bradbury". Now scarce quite scarce or unique signed and here one of the best possible presentation copies. <br/> <br/> Random House Audiobooks unknown
