In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury
(1920-2012) inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and
create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to
fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, and
screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our
time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian
Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something
Wicked This Way Comes. An Emmy Award winner for his teleplay The
Halloween Tree and an Academy Award nominee, he was the recipient
of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished
Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts,
and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many
honors.
