Short Stories

Short Stories, Novelettes & Novellas

by Andre Norton

Many people just are not aware of how prolific a writer Andre Norton was. Within her great body of work there are close to a hundred short stories, some of which have not been seen by the public in many years.

In early 2011 this website was contacted by the Estate of Andre Norton, they were trying to identify just what Andre had written in the way of short stories. It turned out that your webmaster was the only person the Estate could find with a complete set of shorts by Andre. Please do not look down on the estate for this, we have seen some of Andre's personal records and she had forgotten some of the shorts that she produced. By assisting the Estate of Andre Norton with the rebuilding of their records the world gets treated again to some of Andre’s finest works.

Resulting in a three volume set containing many of Andre's rarest shorts ~

Tales From High Hallack.

See: WW: Short Stories for an additional 19 Witch World short stories by Andre Norton and in The Sorcerer's Conspectus (Witch World Encyclopedia) there are 75 Witch World short stories by various other authors.

In April 2015 two previously unknown short stories were posted on this site ~

Fanus and Rusted Armor.

And then we added a collection of 13 previously unpublished short stories ~
