The Golden Apples of the Sun Review: Enjoyable short stories collected in one book. - This is a very enjoyable book with Bradbury short stories. You have a lot to choose from: prehistoric dinosaurs attacking a lighthouse to a murder drama and classic 50's sci fi. He is a great writer and I look forward to reading more from him. Review: unusual edition of Bradbury stories - Ray Bradbury's "The Golden Apples of the Sun" short stories have been around for quite a while. Bradbury is Bradbury, a gifted man with an extraordinary imagination, the lyrical writing skill of a poet, and the magic of a master story teller. His stories pull you intuitively into his worlds and carry you along to achieve what Hemingway advocated for fiction writers: that they become a part of our experience. This hardbound edition is unusual in the way that it is beautifully bound. The silver and lime green cover and jacket design repeat within the text where the book title and the capital letters at the beginning of each story are colored the same green. Not a big deal, but nice. And two of the stories are repeated at the end of the book in the form of plays, duplicated exactly in the form Mr. Bradbury typed them (like photocopies). Highly recommended, easily worth the money, and then some. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #411,167 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #689 in Science Fiction Short Stories #8,262 in Classic Literature & Fiction #15,727 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (281) | | Dimensions | 5.25 x 0.79 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0380730391 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0380730391 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | November 1, 1997 | | Publisher | William Morrow Paperbacks | ## Images ![The Golden Apples of the Sun - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oLjaCgXnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable short stories collected in one book. *by D***. on September 3, 2025* This is a very enjoyable book with Bradbury short stories.

His prose is poetry. I frequently go back and reread paragraphs for the sheer pleasure of hearing the resonances of the words he chooses. I bought this collection on audio books. I would have preferred to hear the author himself reading, but the actor did an adequate job. The collection has some of Bradbury's best-loved stories, such as The Lighthouse and April Witch. (I don't have the table of contents in front of me so actual titles may vary slightly). About half these stories are science fantasy (the author's own term), the others are mainstream. Many writers criticize Bradbury for writing with thin plots and I have to say this collection has some examples of that. A few of the stories are just situations without much happening at all. I actually fast forwarded through a couple--something I never imagined doing to a Bradbury story. His science fantasy stories typically have more "story" to them. Bradbury is best when writing nostalgia fiction. Even his science fiction stories typically appeal to that particular emotion: people on Mars and Venus pining for the way things were on Earth, or struggling to recreate on some far-off world what people have managed to destroy here on Earth. There are some gems here that deserve greater than five stars, true classics such as The Sound of Thunder, but also some less-than-stellar pieces that would never have gotten published but for the author's unique voice (and possibly his name recognition). Overall this is a worthy collection though his 100-Best collection is probably the thing to buy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Golden Apples of the Sun, The - MARTIAN CHRONICLES - ILLUSTRATED MAN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11865032-the-golden-apples-of-the-sun](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11865032-the-golden-apples-of-the-sun) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
