Andre Norton lived a long life and managed to create many wonderful works that have long been included in the golden fund of world fiction. For more than half a century, she has been one of the most popular science fiction and fantasy authors in the world. It is no coincidence that Norton’s work was so highly valued by the Strugatsky brothers. The rich imagination and living language of Norton’s works have received recognition from millions of readers around the world. The second volume of the author’s selected works fully includes the large conventional “Cosmic Cycle”, all of whose works are dedicated to the exploration of the distant and mysterious Space, the depths of which still conceal unsolved mysteries .
