description: These 17 stories create a galaxy of vain, protective &amp; murderous robots, devilish angels, &amp; warm &amp; angry aliens. In "Mimsy Were the Borogoves," inspiring New Line Cinema's The Last Mimzy, a boy finds a box of curious objects. When he &amp; his sister play with them -- including a crystal cube that magnifies the unimaginable &amp; a doll with removable organs that don't quite correspond to human ones -- the parents grow concerned, for the items are changing the way the children perceive the world.Bradbury called Kuttner a man who shaped sf &amp; fantasy in its most important years. Marion Zimmer Bradley &amp; Roger Zelazny called him inspiring. He was a writer's writer whose works anticipated our own computer-controlled world. At his death at 42 in '58, he had created as many as 170 stories under over a dozen pseudonyms, sometimes writing entire issues of sf magazines in collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore.Henry Kuttner: A Neglected Master by Ray Bradbury Mimsy Were the Borogoves (1943) novelette by Kuttner &amp; MooreTwo-Handed Engine (1955) novelette by Moore &amp; Kuttner The Proud Robot [Gallegher] (1943) novelette by Kuttner &amp; Moore The Misguided Halo (1939) story by Kuttner The Voice of the Lobster (1950) novelette by Kuttner Exit the Professor [Hogben 2] (1947) story by Kuttner &amp; MooreThe Twonky (1942) novelette by Kuttner &amp; MooreA Gnome There Was (1941) novelette by Kuttner &amp; Moore The Big Night (1947) novelette by Kuttner Nothing But Gingerbread Left (1943) story by Kuttner &amp; MooreThe Iron Standard (1943) story by Kuttner &amp; Moore Cold War [Hogben 5] (1949) novelette by Moore &amp; KuttnerOr Else (1953) story by Kuttner &amp; Moore Endowment Policy (1943) story by Kuttner &amp; Moore Housing Problem (1944) story by Kuttner &amp; MooreWhat You Need (1945) story by Kuttner &amp; Moore Absalom (1946) story by Kuttner &amp; Moore
