The Halloween Tree

by Ray Bradbury

The Halloween Tree Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For the first time the Gauntlet edition will carry Ray Bradbury's preferred text to this classic novel. Whole pages and paragraphs were deleted by the publisher and are restored for our edition.

Edited by Jon Eller, this signed limited edition will contain a typeset version of Bradbury's preferred text, the original manuscript (complete with handwritten corrections) Bradbury sent to Knopf, a screenplay Bradbury wrote before he wrote the novel (in manuscript form) and the typeset version of his Hanna-Barbera screenplay. The front and back covers are Bradbury oil paintings of Halloween trees.

Review:

"First published by Knopf in 1972, Bradbury's classic Halloween story for readers '11 and up' is now available with substantial cuts to the text restored. This deluxe edition includes a splendid introductory essay by Bradbury scholar Jonathan R. Eller; facsimiles of the 1967 screenplay and the 1971 novel in progress with numerous hand corrections; the 1972 final novel submission with a table of galley changes and extensive notes; and the 1992 teleplay. A special delight are the charming drawings by the author in addition to all the original art by Joseph Mugnaini. This is a beautiful book, a must-have for every Bradbury aficionado." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Review:

"[A]n impressive archeological expedition by editor Jon Eller into several permutations of a near-classic creation by a writer who has become a legend during his own lifetime." Paula Guran, DarkEcho
