Lewis Padgett was the joint pseudonym of the science fiction authors and spouses Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore, taken from their mothers' maiden names. They also used the pseudonyms Lawrence O'Donnell and C. H. Liddell, as well as collaborating under their own names.
Writing as 'Lewis Padgett' they were the author of many humorous short stories of science fiction in the 1940s and 1950s. Among the most famous were:

The "Gallegher" series of stories, collected in Robots Have No Tails (Gnome, 1952):
"The Proud Robot"
"Gallegher Plus"
"The World Is Mine"
"Ex Machina"
"Time Locker"
"Mimsy Were the Borogoves"
"The Twonky"
"What You Need"




Adaptations


"The Twonky" was the inspiration for a radio show recording and a full-length film by the same name.
Episodes of Tales of Tomorrow and The Twilight Zone were based on the short story "What You Need".
In 1976, Caedmon Records released a spoken word album of the short story (TC 1509), narrated by William Shatner.
The feature film The Last Mimzy is loosely based on the short story "Mimsy Were the Borogoves".
