In this short science fiction story by the acclaimed author of Fahrenheit 451, an elderly woman in search of enlightenment buys a ticket on a rocket.

“A Little Journey” (August 1951) marks Bradbury’s final contribution to the editorial decade of Horace Gold, the editor of Galaxy magazine. Like The Martian Chronicles and “The Fireman,” the story demonstrates Bradbury’s characteristic blending so early in his career of the sentimental and the transcendent, the homely and the mystical. Bradbury’s old women in space and their strange outcome are reminiscent of his more famous story “Kaleidoscope” (published in The Illustrated Man) and its conclusion shows unusual if understated power. Bradbury’s “The Fireman” (the short-form version of Fahrenheit 451 which was doubled in length for its book publication in 1953) appeared in the February 1951 issue of Galaxy and further solidified Galaxy’s reputation, as a magazine of unprecedented originality and ambition. Gold’s commitment to the highly ambitious “The Fireman” was, then, courageous for its time and gave publicity to the editor’s insistence that Galaxy was an entirely new kind of science fiction magazine, one which was far more oriented toward style and controversial social extrapolation than the other markets ever had been. Although “The Fireman” and The Martian Chronicles had been published earlier to significant attention, Bradbury in 1951 was by no means a writer of substantial reputation, and his work was regarded by most science fiction editors and readers as marginal to the genre.
