“His stories of small town life were my favorite even more than the future stories.”
Did he write the story about the two small boys, bored on a summer day, who decided to go visit the “Time Machine”?
They walked a few blocks to a house with an old geezer sitting on the front porch.
“Hey, Mr. Jones, tell us about when you were a kid!”
It was either Bradbury or Heinlein, but I think Bradbury.
Great writers, both!
“The Time Machine”...that’s a chapter from “Dandelion Wine” by Ray Bradbury.
Ironic that Bradbury died on June 6th...somewhere along the way I realized that Douglas Spaulding and his peers would have been the guys hitting the beaches that morning, sixteen years after “Summer 1928 began”.
