Philip Castle's Andre Norton covers for Tandem Science Fiction

Even though I have a ton of Andre Norton books I could

not resist these somewhat odd and colourful examples by

Philip Castle's for UK publisher Tandem Science Fiction.

What is space? It is a wilderness beyond any man's exploring, even if he had a hundred, a thousand life spans in which to prowl the lanes between solar systems and planets, to go questing, to seek ever new and newer knowledge of what may lie beyond the next sun, the next system. Yet to such seekers comes also the knowledge that there must be no boundaries to man's belief, but rather an acceptance of wonders which would leave the planet-bound, those who follow familiar trails, incredulous and refusing to accept the evidence of their one senses.

Moon of Three Rings, Andre Norton

" perhaps you are right and I am walking into an hallucination or dream. But it is mine, far more mine then this world of yours in which I now stand. I am going back, perhaps, as you say, to die among broken ruins and tumbled stones. But to me Xcothal is not dead - it lives and in it thal runs, sweet waters flow, there are things that can be shaped by mind as your world shapes them by hands. And there are those who await me there with a welcome I have never known in you world-..,

And around him bounded in plain sight the furred ones, leaping and playfully springing upon one another in their exuberance."

The X-Factor, Andre Norton
