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.
