One of Ray Bradbury`s classic short-story collections, now available in e-book for the first time, starring: Hollywood monster-maker mr Potnick finds out that his Tyrannosaurus rex suddenly starts looking more and more like a real life paleontology-dinosaur, leading mr. Potnick to take it to Disiblon Theatre, Grumman Circus or wherever; Valdir Rodrigues, an extraordinary boy, discovers how great is the power of magic and creativity, leading Valdir to grow his own high-tech mushrooms in the cellar until they start growing him, taking him to various adventures and encounters; Celiaida the corpse rises and finds herself supporting her even more mischievous husband and their wonderful young family, a husband so bizarre and enjoyable that nobody can resist him, but he knew it coming since he had decorated her entire body from head to toe with vissually elaborate tattoos that amazed everyone around her; Emma the Royal Fat Lady shows everyone her astounding skill when it comes to magic tricks even though her husband is a dull normal-sized midget who had borrowed some serious enchanting skills from Roland—half Giant, half Toy, branding every square inch of his big lady`s body to the point where it was literally tattooed to rival Madame Tussaud`s wax realizations. And plenty more besides, taken from another regular feature in Ray Bradbury The Martian Chronicles: Oh, for instance how did Ray Bradbury actually end up in prison? Are the TV Space Queens even Real Space Queens? And what would a 21st-century production of Ianthe (`If the girls missed aerobic sessions, we\'d have eleven small bruises, ladies,' said Gene Fowler… and then I just laughed and handed. him a cigarette) look like? All Seventeen of them, here, for the very first time as e-books from Scholastic – the quality you know and love, plus the joy and splendour of reading these eye-opening published delights in an original, single access e-format, complete with complete dictionaries for those who need them no less. Sixteen of which are by Martian brilliance personified Ray Bradbury (now also including the brilliant follow-up The Illustrated Man from the Great One himself. It\'s the kind of epic collection that should be on your bookcase already - find out what all the fuss is about…
