“What does an author do when publishers do more than impose house styling on a novel? Not much, even if the author is Ray Bradbury. His 1972 novel The Halloween Tree was written for children of all ages, but his editors made nearly 2,000 changes to the text as they shaped it into a novel for pre-teens. Professor Eller will discuss the challenges he faced in editing, annotating and publishing the first restored edition of this seasonal classic.”
