Reuters has an article about the new family movie The Last Mimzy, which is based (pretty loosely, from all evidence) on the great "Lewis Padgett" story "Mimsy Were the Borogoves."

Padgett, for those who don't know, was a pseudonym for the married writing team of Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore; sometimes used by one, sometimes the other, and sometimes by both together. (Untangling what was written by Moore and what by Kuttner is exceptionally difficult; there's a famous story that one of them would get up from a typewriter to go do something else, and the other would sit down and continue the story from that point.)

If you want to read the original story, it's been anthologized many times -- here's a list of its appearances, from the Internet Speculative Fiction Database -- but your best choice would be to read it in a large collection of the best work of Kuttner and Moore. As it happens, the SFBC has just such a book on hand -- it's called Two-Handed Engine, and the only other edition of it in existence costs several hundred dollars.

The SFBC edition, on the other hand, is only $14.99 for members. If you're not a member, you could get it for a dollar when you join the club -- and get four other books, also for a dollar each.
