"The ignorant say it is the casting of dragons, but that is not so." --Amber out of Quayth

Andre Norton has captured the hearts and imaginations of readers for over thirty years. Sometimes categorized as a 'young adult' author Andre Norton's books and short stories know no age group. Her lands of time and space open doors to new realms of learning and awareness across generations.

Witch World gives readers a chance to explore the age-old battle between Light and Dark. Protagonists and antagonists are adult, youth or child. Magic and technology are nicely integrated. Ms. Norton takes bits and pieces of eastern and western philosophies, folklore and scientific technologies, blends them lightly with every day experiences and comes up with a terrific common thread for all of her novels.
