The local knowledge
Crosetti is the barber in Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes. His place in Green Town’s everyday life contrasts with the strange travelling carnival that arrives in the town. Crosetti’s Barber Shop is our descriptive name for the imagined sign, rather than a claim that the book gives the business this exact title.
