Kuttner was a writer&#8217;s writer whose visionary works anticipated our own computer-controlled, machine-made world. At the time of his death at forty-two in 1958, he had created as many as 170 stories under more than a dozen pseudonyms&#8211;sometimes writing entire issues of science fiction magazines&#8211;in close collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore. <br/><br/>This definitive collection will be a revelation to those who wish to discover or rediscover Henry Kuttner, a true master of the universe.]]>

    <![CDATA[THE LAST MIMZY IS THE IDEAL INTRODUCTION TO AN AUTHOR WHO WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME&#8211;AND WHOSE TIME HAS FINALLY COME.<br/><br/>These seventeen classic stories create their own unique galaxy of vain, protective, and murderous robots; devilish angels; and warm and angry aliens. In &#8220;Mimsy Were the Borogoves&#8221;&#8211;the inspiration for New Line Cinema&#8217;s major motion picture The Last Mimzy&#8211;a boy finds a discarded box containing a treasure trove of curious objects. When he and his sister begin to play with these trinkets&#8211;including a crystal cube that magnifies the unimaginable and a strange doll with removable organs that don&#8217;t quite correspond to those of the human body&#8211;their parents grow concerned. And they should be. For the items are changing the way the children think and perceive the world around them&#8211;for better or worse. <br/><br/>Ray Bradbury called Henry Kuttner &#8220;a man who shaped science fiction and fantasy in its most important years.&#8221; Marion Zimmer Bradley and Roger Zelazny said he was a major inspiration. Kuttner was a writer&#8217;s writer whose visionary works anticipated our own computer-controlled, machine-made world. At the time of his death at forty-two in 1958, he had created as many as 170 stories under more than a dozen pseudonyms&#8211;sometimes writing entire issues of science fiction magazines&#8211;in close collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore. <br/><br/>This definitive collection will be a revelation to those who wish to discover or rediscover Henry Kuttner, a true master of the universe.]]>

    <![CDATA[THE LAST MIMZY IS THE IDEAL INTRODUCTION TO AN AUTHOR WHO WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME&#8211;AND WHOSE TIME HAS FINALLY COME.<br/><br/>These seventeen classic stories create their own unique galaxy of vain, protective, and murderous robots; devilish angels; and warm and angry aliens. In &#8220;Mimsy Were the Borogoves&#8221;&#8211;the inspiration for New Line Cinema&#8217;s major motion picture The Last Mimzy&#8211;a boy finds a discarded box containing a treasure trove of curious objects. When he and his sister begin to play with these trinkets&#8211;including a crystal cube that magnifies the unimaginable and a strange doll with removable organs that don&#8217;t quite correspond to those of the human body&#8211;their parents grow concerned. And they should be. For the items are changing the way the children think and perceive the world around them&#8211;for better or worse. <br/><br/>Ray Bradbury called Henry Kuttner &#8220;a man who shaped science fiction and fantasy in its most important years.&#8221; Marion Zimmer Bradley and Roger Zelazny said he was a major inspiration. Kuttner was a writer&#8217;s writer whose visionary works anticipated our own computer-controlled, machine-made world. At the time of his death at forty-two in 1958, he had created as many as 170 stories under more than a dozen pseudonyms&#8211;sometimes writing entire issues of science fiction magazines&#8211;in close collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore. <br/><br/>This definitive collection will be a revelation to those who wish to discover or rediscover Henry Kuttner, a true master of the universe.]]>
