Bradbury 100 - Celebrating the Life and Work of American Writer Ray BradburyShow Notes
In this episode, a reading of Ray Bradbury's story "Skeleton" - but perhaps not the story you are familiar with...
In 1945, Ray published TWO short stories with the same title, "Skeleton". The more famous of the two went on to be collected in his books Dark Carnival, The October Country, and The Stories Of Ray Bradbury. The less well known "Skeleton" just appeared in an obscure magazine and has only rarely been reprinted.
The lesser known "Skeleton" is, by an accident of history, out of copyright - unlike the more familiar "Skeleton", whose copyright was diligently renewed when needed, and remains copyrighted.
