5.0 out of 5 stars Bought for Mimsy Were the Borogoves, 5 Jun 2003
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume I: The Greatest Science Fiction Stories of All Time: 1 (Paperback)
This book is truly a collection of great stories from between the years of 1929 and 1964. I am glad they reprinted this book because my older version is yellowing. I hope one day they will reprint a new hard back copy and I will buy it also.
Even though this book is packed from cover to cover with intriguing stories, I bought it for one story in particular "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" by Lewis Padgett. First published in 1943 ("Lewis Padgett" was a pseudonym employed by Henry Kuttner and his wife, C. L. Moore)
My first encounter with this story was a vinyl record recording with William Shatner later it is replaces with a cassette tape. I believe this book is the only surviving form of the story.
Unthahorsten is experimenting with time travel and sends two black boxes back into the past. He had to put something in them so as a last minute thought places his old toys in them. They do not return so he forgets them. It is too late the mischief is done. One is found by children in 1942. The other well look at the title for a clue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic stuff, 15 Jan 2009
By Nicholas Whyte (Oud Heverlee, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume I: The Greatest Science Fiction Stories of All Time: 1 (Paperback)
This is one of those classic collections, assembling the top sf stories published before 1965 as voted for by the membership of SFWA in the late 1960s. (I wonder how different the results would be, if a similar poll were taken now?) Most of these stories were very familiar to me, but it filled in a couple of gaps - I don't think I had read either Theodore Sturgeon's "Microcosmic God" or Alfred Bester's "Fondly Fahrenheit" before. Anyway it's good to have such a selection of classics within a single set of covers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hall of Tame, 18 Feb 2008
By A reader (Los Angeles CA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
It goes without saying that a collection of twenty-odd science fiction short stories by different authors is going to be variable. There are some gems in this collection, stories that still hold up after all these years, such as Mimsy Were the Borogroves, It's a Good Life, Flowers for Algernon, Scanners Live in Vain and A Rose for Ecclesiastes. Most of the other stories hold the reader's interest, with only a small number seeming undeserving of inclusion.

I would advise anyone approaching this book to do so with the understanding that they're going to be reading from the early canon of SF. These stories were chosen in the mid-60s to honour short stories that predated the prestigious Nebula Awards, and were published between 1934 and 1963. Many of the stories now read rather tamely, but I accept that the reason is that they reflect the tastes of half a century ago.
