Work Description
Collection of 13 short stories and novellas written between 1952 and 1985 samples the wide range of Nebula Grand Master Norton's (Tales of the witch world ) work. The first six entries, set in the Witch World universe, depict mostly female protagonists coping with aftermath of war made even more devastating by deployment of magic. "Toads of Grimmerdale" and "Cangeling" recount the travails of Hertha, a noblewoman who is cast out into"drifts of ice-crusted snow" by her brother after she refuses to abort the fetus. Of a rapist. "SpiderSilk" is what blind, former slave Dairine is taught to weave by male-hating giant arachnids. In the title novella, an Esper fleeing a lynch mob us arrived into another world, where his kind rules--but even there he is different and must fight for survival. A dreamer who creates worlds for others finds her work, herself and her client in grave danger in"Toys of Tamisan." " Mowsetrap," the earliest story here., envisions a not-too- gist ant future in which mankind explores Mars but human nature remains the same.
