Synopsis ~

In “London Bridge” a latter day Pied Piper captures the young of Earth’s last ruined city, and leads them off to where? “The Toads of Grimmerdale” exact their payment in this classic sword and sorcery story of a lady’s revenge in a feudal world of the future. “Mousetrap” is a convincing account of the weird and lovely things Terran explores and racketeers may yet find on the Martians deserts; while “All Cats Are Gray” brings together a striking female protagonist, an invisible villain, and a tough old tomcat. In “On Writing Fantasy” Miss Norton tells just how she goes about it, and “Andre Norton: Loss of Faith” is a comprehensive analysis of the loss of optimism in her writing. “The Long Night of Waiting” introduces us to two children who disappeared from their farm 110 years ago and have returned with a present for us from there. The last priestess of a powerful god copes with her world in the wake of a barbarian invasion in “The Gifts of Asti”; while in “Long Live Lord Kor!” a time traveling adventurer battles to save a far, far world with the help of fire worms and a lovely sorceress.

These nine science fiction wonder tales and articles by and about this spellbinding story teller are guaranteed to transport you to an enchanted dimension.
