	Guardian Unlimited \| Obituaries \| Andre Norton
		Andre Norton, who has died aged 93, is nowadays recognised as one of the most popular writers of young adult fantasy and science-fiction novels.
		Born Alice Mary Norton in Cleveland, Ohio, she chose Andre Norton as a pen-name at a time when genre fiction was expected to be written by male authors, and changed her name legally in 1934.
		Andre, she felt, was ambiguous enough to allow her to write for teenage boys, and many were surprised to find that "Mr Norton" turned out to be a slender, brown-haired and green-eyed young woman.

	Andre Norton Novels
		In a dukedom decimated by plague, the orphaned young Willadene was assigned to the care of a distant cousin and compelled to become a scullery maid in the cousin’s second-rate inn.
		Norton’s characters are likeable and well defined, and there was enough action and intrigue to keep the pages turning, although the final outcome was fairly evident by the later stages.
		I still think Norton has a tendency to wrap things up too quickly at the end, but the conclusion was satisfactory and in keeping with the rest of the novel.

	deseretnews.com \| Science fiction and fantasy author Andre Norton dies
		Norton moved to Tennessee in 1996 because she wanted to start a library for genre writers and didn't like the population explosion in Florida.
		Norton opened the library in a converted three-car garage as a retreat where authors could research ancient religions, weaponry, mythology or history that they need to bring their stories to life.
		Norton said detailed research matters in fiction because today's education is so inadequate that many people must get their history from novels.

	BookThink - Collecting Science Fiction - Andre Norton - An Appreciation
		Andre Norton, known with great affection as the Grand Dame of Science Fiction and Fantasy, died at her home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee on March 17th, 2005 - and we are the poorer for her passing.
		Norton's fantasy and SF career spanned more than a half century and included approximately 150 novels with her full or co-authorship as well as numerous anthologies and short stories.
		But what makes a Norton tale live and breathe are her portrayals of friendship and loyalty, of commitment, and of willingness to sacrifice for a greater good.

		Andre Norton was born Alice Mary Norton in Cleveland, Ohio, on February 17th, 1912.
		Norton attended Flora Stone Mather College of Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve) for a year from the fall of 1930 to the spring of 1931, with the intention of becoming a history teacher.
		Thus, the citation of "Andre" as a pseudonym for her given name, Alice Mary, in a number of bibliographies, biographies, and critical accounts is in error.

	Andre Norton Biography \| Dictionary of Literary Biography
		All of Norton's novels are primarily adventure stories, romances set in the exotic and carefully described other worlds of the past, the future, parallel universes, and other planets.
		Norton consistently associates evil with the denial of such bonds, or with a lack of appreciation for individuality and liberty; opportunism, willful destructiveness, and the urge to dominate through the imposition of mechanized forms of control are characteristic attributes of her villains.
		The hero, Kincar s'Rud, is aided in his adventures by his bonds with a "mord" (a cross between a tamed vulture and an aggressive bat) and a "larng" (a four-eyed, hairy steed); he triumphs over the power-hungry counterparts of alternate history by his possession of a magic talisman sacred to the native religion of Gorth.

	Amazon.ca: Scent of Magic: Books: Andre Norton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		To counterpoint her adolescent girl heroines Willadene and Mahart, Norton swirls familiar ingredients into her time-tested story recipe (the Witch World series), such as the intrepid spy Nicolas, the dashing warrior-prince Lorien, assorted evil uglies both human and unearthly and an enigmatic creature named Ssssaaa, the most intriguing of the lot.
		No offense intended to people who enjoyed this book, or to Andre Norton (who is writing for a younger audience, maybe 11-14), but this book could have used a lot more time with an editor wielding a large red pen.
		Andre Norton is one of those rare authors who can continue to create new characters and settings in well developed plots.

	Dani Zweig's Unnumbered Reviews #7: Andre Norton -- Part I
		Andre Norton is one of the greats of science fiction and fantasy -- one of the writers who moulded and influenced an entire generation of readers.
		Because Andre Norton's novels were adventure stories, tales of wonder and imagination, but not books that challenged their readers intellectually or philosophically.
		And Norton's coauthored works are, naturally, highly variable (but I give her credit that if her name is on the cover, her work is on the inside).

	Andre Norton, Quag Keep
		Andre Norton is a master of genre fiction, with over 100 science fiction and fantasy novels and nearly as many short stories published over her 71-year career.
		This made me feel that the novel would actually be stronger if it could decide to be one thing or another: either a straight fantasy set in another world, or an exploration of the duality of the "real person" and the "character," with more development of both.
		Norton does manage to write in a vein that has become a quagmire of clichés without descending into utter banality, and with some fun and original touches.
