5.0 out of 5 stars This machinery just keeps on producing., 31 Oct 2002
Few authors can emote a sense of wonder the way that Uncle Ray does. A single short story collection by Bradbury contains more magic and emotion than most other writers seem able to muster in a lifetime. This book is no exception. It contains two of my all time favourite stories - 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' and 'Death And The Maiden'. The former is obviously Bradbury's ode to his friend Ray Harryhousen, and the latter is the touching tale of an old woman and her persistent visitor. This is definitely one of Bradbury's finest achievements and, given his career, that really is saying something. Wonderful.
