Synopsis: From the renowned, Hugo Award–nominated titan of science fiction comes a collection of his best short stories: &“Kuttner is magic&” (Joe R. Lansdale, author of Honky Tonk Samurai). In seventeen classic stories, Henry Kuttner creates a unique galaxy of vain, protective, and murderous robots; devilish angels; and warm and angry aliens. These stories include &“Mimsy Were the Borogoves&”—the inspiration for New Line Cinema&’s major motion picture The Last Mimzy—as well as &“Two-Handed Engine,&” &“The Proud Robot,&” &“The Misguided Halo,&” &“The Voice of the Lobster,&” &“Exit the Professor,&” &“The Twonky,&” &“A Gnome There Was,&” &“The Big Night,&” &“Nothing But Gingerbread Left,&” &“The Iron Standard,&” &“Cold War,&” &“Or Else,&” &“Endowment Policy,&” &“Housing Problem,&” &“What You Need,&” and &“Absalom.&” &“[A] pomegranate writer: popping with seeds—full of ideas.&” —Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 421
