"Exit the Professor" (1947) - a comic masterpiece by Henry Kuttner

Narrated in the first person in the local dialect by a very uneducated, very unsophisticated and very unusual young man who lives in a remote mountain town in the hills of Kentucky with his equally unusual family, this very funny story relates the adventures of a visiting professor from New York who wants to find out more about the strange and wonderful abilities of this family, who are more than content to continue living peacefully in their out-of-the-way southern town where nothing much ever happens other than one or two lynchings every year.

A true comic masterpiece by the very talented author of The Proud Robot, that first appeared in the October 1947 issue of the excellent bi-monthly magazine Thrilling Wonder Stories.
