Enchanted world. Crystal Griffin

The pen of the American writer Andre Norton, the “great lady of science fiction” of the 20th century, belongs to more than 130 books. Critics, alas, were in no hurry to support her, and she herself was a too modest person to make her way to the pedestal. Nevertheless, her talent shone so brightly that he did not go unnoticed. In our country, the name of the writer became known after the release of the novel “Sargassy in Cosmos”, brilliantly translated by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. And in 1963, a book entitled “Witchcraft World” was published in the United States-this is how one of the most famous fantasy-worlds in the history of the genre was created.
Norton’s universe is amazing - the magic is omnipotent here (and even officially recognized), and the laws are immutable, and the fair or later overtakes fair retribution. You can get to the witching world through the magic gate - and this gives any person a wonderful chance to start a new life on the New Earth.
The present volume includes the novels “Crystal Griffin”, “The Griffin Griffin”, “Griffin’s Nest” and the story “Heir to Ulmsdale” dedicated to the adventures of Lord Kornov - the heir to Ulmsdale - and his named Lady Joycean. In a alliance with a magic griffin, whose image is decorated with the coat of arms of Ulmsdale, they participate in a centuries -old confrontation of light and darkness
