Mimsy Were the Borogoves.

Worth it for Mimsy alone; however, the other stories are a bonus. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wade; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.” Lewis Carroll "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" is on tape and even on vinyl at one time. It can also be found in some of Henry Kuttner's books. It is a small sci-fi story about a formula that allows you into an alternate universe that everyone used to have access to. The problem with getting there is that it requires a different paradigm and a formula. The paradigm requires a mindset that disappears as we get older, and the formula is in front of us if we know where to look. An added plus is that the tape version is read to us enthusiastically by William Shatner. Playing around with time travel, he needed something to put into the cube. He chose some of his old toys. The box never came back. After trying for a second time with no success, he gave up and moved on.
