Francis McComas of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction found Golden Apples to be a "most uncertain reading experience… material of a curiously mixed quality writing that is often simply and perceptively moving just as often sadly lacking any particular strength or color".
Writing in The New York Times, Charles Poore reported that Bradbury "writes in a style that seems to have been nourished on the poets and fabulists of the Irish Literary Renaissance", and said he was "wonderfully adept at getting to the heart of his story without talking all day long about it and around it." Īnthony Boucher and J. The semi-omnibus editions omit three of the stories that appear in The Golden Apples of the Sun: " The Pedestrian" (1951), " Invisible Boy" (1945), and " Hail and Farewell" (1953). Harper Perennial titled their 2005 edition as A Sound of Thunder and Other Stories. In 1997, Avon Books printed a new edition of the omnibus, titling it The Golden Apples of the Sun and Other Stories. In 1990, Bantam Books collected most of the stories from R Is for Rocket (1962) and The Golden Apples of the Sun into a semi-omnibus edition titled Classic Stories 1. The collection's title story was first published in the November 1953 issue of Planet Stories, a US pulp science fiction magazine.
