In \u003cem\u003eThe Cat's Pajamas\u003c\/em\u003e, this \"latter-day O. Henry\" (Booklist) takes us on an amazing walk through his six-decade career, presenting twenty-two tales -- some old, some new, all but two never before published.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere you will find stories strange and scary, nostalgic and bittersweet, humorous and heart-touching, ranging from the not-so-long-gone past to an unknowable future: a group of senators drinks a bit too much -- and gambles away the United States; a newlywed couple buys an old house and finds their fledgling relationship tested; two mysterious strangers arrive at a rooming house and baffle their fellow occupants with strange crying in the night; a lonely woman takes a last chance on love. The final piece in the collection is a story-poem, a fond salute from Bradbury to his literary heroes Shaw, Chesterton, Dickens, Twain, Poe, Wilde, Melville, and Kipling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Cat's Pajamas\u003c\/em\u003e is just that -- the bee's knees -- a touching, timeless, and tender collection from the incomparable Ray Bradbury, and a anoramic view of an amazingly long, rich, and fertile creative career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ray Bradbury","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Rough front","offer_id":53075864486048,"sku":"9780060585655","price":60.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_7070b4ff-df45-442c-968f-2158791ca96d.jpg?v=1764699964","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780060585655","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
