Description

Children find a mysterious box of future toys in Henry Kuttner's and C. L. Moore's Mimsy Were the Borogoves, which have unexpected properties. Then after hating the movie it was made into, we discuss other stories with powerful objects that were gifts from aliens or that travelled through time.
