Favourite Cover Art
What's some of your favourite artwork for various and sundry Bradbury covers? For some, the cover art is often as anticipated as the stories (although not me, to be sure!). As the cover art selections eventually fade away, perhaps we could continue posting different Bradbury-inspired images.

Although the original hardcover is wonderful, I think I really enjoy this version of Dandelion Wine. philnic might think it slightly fairy-story-like, I don't know. Smiler

Yes, I do. It's a great piece of work, but I think it misleads about the content and tone of the book.

The one posted by djmonolith also misleads plotwise (no hangings in DW that I recall), but I find the tone matches some of the book.
