I no longer can remember what I thought when I found out Norton was a woman. Back then, I might have been naive enough to wonder why she used a man's name.
I do know that she was a favorite of mine back then and bought everything she wrote.
Farren may well be talking about the art. The bird headress is kind of weird, and there's a definite homo-erotic edge. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Nope, I don't see anything odd about it. It looks just like the cover of my copy, except that mine is a single, ACE F-408, and not the ACE Double.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you find odd about it?
Not as odd as I felt when I discovered Andre Norton was actually a woman...

ReplyDeleteI can't think of any of her books that had semi-sentient plants.
ReplyDeleteBut, it's been decades at least since I've read many of her works, so I'm no authority on what's in her books.
