High Sorcery Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 41 ratings

Encounter telepaths, wizards, and more in these five fantasy stories from the New York Times–bestselling Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master.

Warlocks of other worlds—or scientists of times unknown?  

Craike, a man hunted in two worlds . . . Miss Rutheven, whose needles pointed to secret kingdoms . . . Dagmar, with the fatal fascination of Helen of Troy . . . Ully, whose music touched the powers before mankind . . . Tamisan, the sorceress who found herself the victim of her toy . . .

These and others like them inhabit Andre Norton’s world of 
High Sorcery, where the primeval desires and fears of man—his loving and loathing—are merged with his dreams of future knowledge and technological power. Those who have enjoyed the alchemy of Norton’s other mind-bending tales should enjoy these!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Another fine example of storytelling from the days when explicit sex wasn't required to sell a fantasy
    Reviewed in the United States on 19 December 2014
    Another old favorite from Andre Norton. Her writing is a little mannered by today's standards, but it is always fun to pick out what the characters are ever so carefully not saying. It is a story collection, not a novel.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Lousy job of translating from print to electronic
    Reviewed in the United States on 16 April 2013
    This is the first time I have found myself dissatisfied to point of writing a negative review.

    I purchased the anthology because it had several of Ms. Norton's short stories I have never seen before [and as a serious Norton fan, a definite treat since she has passed away and her novels and short stories are rapidly vanishing from publication].

    However, the collection also contained a couple of short stories I had read in other print publications ["Wizard World" and "By a Hair" being the most commonly available]. These had been seriously butchered, and I do not believe that it was an attempt to abridge the stories - it had more the look of a transcriber missing several pages of print during the change over to electronic format. And, based upon areas of the new-to-me stories which seem to lose their way, those were not the only oversights.

    Spelling error and mis-wording caused by OCR applications I can deal with, wholesale elimination of pages which leave major holes in the story lines are another - and unacceptable - matter.

    Though normally I would recommend Norton fans get their hands on any of Ms. Norton's products they can, this particular one I would not - and suggest looking for the inclusions in some other format.

    All Andre Norton books are excellent, and this is no exception. If you haven't read her yet, try this book. Very good.
