the day it rained forever by ray bradbury

This two-volume Ray Bradbury deluxe gift set includes both The Day it Rained Forever and A Medicine for Melancholy. Additionally, the story 'The Shoreline at Sunset' is titled 'The Sunset Harp' in the UK edition. The British edition, published by Rupert Hart-Davis, omitted 'A Medicine for Melancholy', 'The First Night of Lent', 'All Summer in a Day' and 'The Great Collision of Monday Last', replacing them with 'Referent', 'Almost the End of the World', 'Here There Be Tygers', 'Perchance to Dream' and 'And the Rock Cried Out'. The Day It Rained Forever was originally published in 1959 as A Medicine For Melancholy in the US and as The Day It Rained Forever in the UK. His timeless, constant appeal to audiences young and old has proven him to be one of the truly classic authors of the 20th and 21st Centuries. His best-known and most beloved books are masterworks that readers carry with them over a lifetime. Once read, Ray Bradbury's words are never forgotten. A man seeking the forgotten scent of sarsaparilla in his attic passes through a window into the lost land of his boyhood. A homesick family of colonists on Mars begin to notice that each is undergoing a subtle transformation.

Bradbury's work had previously been collected in various compilations, such as The Martian Chronicles and The October Country, but never in such a large volume (912 pages) or spanning such a long period of time. The hundred stories, written from 1943 to 1980, were selected by the author himself. The Stories of Ray Bradbury is an anthology containing 100 short stories by American writer Ray Bradbury, first published by Knopf in 1980.
