Ray Bradbury

I must by now have seen or heard half a dozen obituaries for Ray Bradbury , who sadly died last Tuesday at the age of 91, but not one of them has mentioned the short story I thought was his most well-known: 'A Sound of Thunder'.


That's right, it is the time travel, dinosaur hunt, butterfly one.  Read in schools across the land.  But not a mention.

But, of course, and rightly, lots of memories of Fahrenheit 451, The Silver Locusts, Dandelion Wine, Something Wicked..., the Day It Rained For Ever, etc.  Just no Thunder.  Strange.

I can see I'm going to have to go on a rereading splurge.
