About This Item
First edition of this revised and expanded edition of the stories originally published in 1950. A Fine minus, unread book with a very slight splay to front board; in a Fine dust jacket.

Synopsis
The Martian Chronicles is a 1950 science fiction short story collection by Ray Bradbury that chronicles the colonization of Mars by humans fleeing from a troubled and eventually atomically devastated Earth, and the conflict between aboriginal Martians and the new colonists. The book lies somewhere between a short story collection and an episodic novel, containing stories Bradbury originally published in the late 1940s in science fiction magazines.
