About the author

Andre Norton, born Alice Mary Norton, was a pioneering American author of science fiction and fantasy, widely regarded as the Grande Dame of those genres. She also wrote historical and contemporary fiction, publishing under the pen names Andre Alice Norton, Andrew North, and Allen Weston. She launched her career in 1934 with The Prince Commands, adopting the name “Andre” to appeal to a male readership. After working for the Cleveland Library System and the Library of Congress, she began publishing science fiction under “Andrew North” and fantasy under her own name. She became a full-time writer in 1958 and was known for her prolific output, including Star Man’s Son, 2250 A.D. and Witch World, the latter spawning a long-running series and shared universe. Norton was a founding member of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America and authored Quag Keep, the first novel based on the Dungeons & Dragons game. She influenced generations of writers, including Lois McMaster Bujold and Mercedes Lackey. Among her many honors were being the first woman named Gandalf Grand Master of Fantasy and SFWA Grand Master. In her later years, she established the High Hallack Library to support research in genre fiction. Her legacy continues with the Andre Norton Award for young adult science fiction and fantasy.

Mixed bag

I have read many. Of Andre Nortons books. This early mix of her writing show s promise, but half of the stories are stiff and unwieldy to unreadable.

[LOL_BOOKS]

I CAN'T FIND ANY DECENT BOOK TO READ. I JUST WANT SOMETHING FUN THAT I WILL WANT TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT READING, LIKE I USED TO.

THERE'S A COLLECTION OF 14 ANDRE NORTON NOVELS ON KINDLE FOR LITERALLY 99 CENTS THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING MY WAY THROUGH, AND THEY'RE ALL PRETTY FUN AND ZIPPY. SKIP VOODOO PLANET UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOL AT A WHITE LADY IN 1955 TRYING HARD NOT TO BE RACIST AND FAILING, THOUGH.
