About this product

Product Information

The Last Mimzy is the ideal introduction to an author who was ahead of his time--and whose time has finally come These seventeen classic stories create their own unique galaxy of vain, protective, and murderous robots; devilish angels; and warm and angry aliens. 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. 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. This definitive collection will be a revelation to those who wish to discover or rediscover Henry Kuttner, a true master of the universe.

  • The Last Mimzy

    Imagination has returned to the movies! This movie is fantastic in so many ways! It's a movie for both adults and children. Children can follow enough of the movie to thoroughly enjoy it (as evidenced in the theatre) and for adults, it has drama and suspense. I can't remember the last movie I saw that was made well enough for both audiences. The kids in the movie did such a great job and it was great to see Timothy Hutton again. (Although the mom in the movie is a little on the over-acting side.) While leaving the theatre, both men and women were raving about it. The special effects were fantastic! You need to pay attention or you could miss some clues and answers. It's not incredibly predictable, which will help hold your interest. It's fun and adventurous and will make you remember how ...
