An anthology of 22 short stories, The Golden Apples of the Sun includes The Fog Horn, The Flying Machine, Sun and Shadow, and The Exiles. Groff Conklin of Galaxy Science Fiction praised the collection, saying it included "some of the best imaginative stories [Bradbury] or anyone else has ever written. One cannot even begin to describe their delights."
