Welcome to the FIFTIETH episode of Bradbury 100!
This is another episode in my "Chronological Bradbury" strand - where I go through Ray Bradbury's publishing history in order.
We've reached the year 1940, when Ray turned 20. It's a year which sees him getting no fewer than nine pieces of fiction published in amateur magazines. He's still a year away from his first professional sale (which will come in 1941), but 1940 shows him rapidly developing his plotting, characterisation, and use of language.
