In “Mimsy Were the Borogoves”—the inspiration for New Line Cinema’s major  motion picture The Last Mimzy—a boy finds a discarded box containing a treasure trove  of curious objects. When he and his sister begin to play with these trinkets—including  a crystal cube that magnifies the unimaginable and a strange doll with removable  organs that don’t quite correspond to those of the human body—their parents grow  concerned. And they should be. For the items are changing the way the children think  and perceive the world around them—for better or worse. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ray Bradbury called Henry  Kuttner “a man who shaped science fiction and fantasy in its most important years.”  Marion Zimmer Bradley and Roger Zelazny said he was a major inspiration. Kuttner  was a writer’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—sometimes writing entire  issues of science fiction magazines—in close collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This definitive collection will be a revelation to those who wish to discover or  rediscover Henry Kuttner, a true master of the universe.","brand":"Del Rey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365821186303,"sku":"9780345497550","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780345497550_s600x595.jpg?v=1775583566","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780345497550","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
