On June 5th Ray Bradbury passed away. He entertained us with work like Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man.
Bradbury’s grandson said, “His legacy lives on in his monumental body of books, film, television and theater, but more importantly, in the minds and hearts of anyone who read him, because to read him was to know him. He was the biggest kid I know.”
Here’s a documentary about Bradbury from 1963. I especially liked hearing about the early years of his writing. Thank heavens he stuck with writing!
