In my personal experience ive noticed many great bradbury stories arent mentioned as favorites ( i know there are many !) What story do you find to be very underated and not given the credit that it deserves. I always enjoyed the story ''the end of the begining ," but have never heard very many people reveiw it very well or mention at all liking it .

Well, I don't know how under rated this story is (I don't see any mention of it on this site, or any other places), but I always thought that "The Town Where No One Got Off" is one of the best suspense stories I've ever read.
I used to work in a college library and (rather selfishly I now realize) I kept the library's copy of "The Stories of Ray Bradbury" stashed near some dust covered, seemingly never read, hardbound journals (I'll never forget them, "Iron Age" from the early 1940's). Anyway, I kept the book hidden there to read while working (I still feel guilty for this). When I happened upon this story I recall clutching the book tightly and being so enveloped by the story I felt as if I was hiding behind the characters and secretely listening to their conversation as they walked through the countryside.

How about "The Swan", buried without title as part of Dandelion Wine? It's one of Bradbury's most beautiful love stories.
