This is one of the most imaginative and consistently qualatative coollections I've come across. At least two of thesed stories were adpated for television shows andc a few others have earned the ehphemism "classic. " "The :Long Rain" was renamed "Thed Sun Dome" and shown as an episode of "Twilight Zone" back when it was black and white. For bibliohiles, especially those who tend toward works of the macabre, mysterious, or mystical, "The Exiles" shall surely entertain you. With the novelette "Frost and Fire," the mature Bradbury brings out the violent nature of man, his need for war, and the acts that propel him, finally, above that animalsim. ( )

Great collection of sci-fi stories that will be remembered throughout life. ( )

As you can probably guess from the title, a collection that is largely science fiction, including the famous dinosaur story (or two, if you like). Some of which of course will seem (and is) very old-fashioned. The novella 'Frost and Fire' perhaps being something of a different stripe.

A fine collection of Bradbury stories from his most fertile period. The last few stories are from his classic novel, "Dandelion Wine". There are a number of memorable stories here, such as "A Sound of Thunder" and "The Long Rain", and one or two more from other collections. A good collection with some reprinted stories. ( )
