Magic (Andre Norton)
Andre Norton & Jean Rabe · 7 novels · 1965–2008
Andre Norton's Magic sequence gathers six lightly linked fantasies for younger readers - Steel Magic, Octagon Magic, Fur Magic, Dragon Magic, Lavender-Green Magic, and Red Hart Magic - published between 1965 and 1976, each centered on a different child's brush with magic tied to an old object or place rather than a shared cast or continuing plot. The books were later regrouped into two-volume omnibus editions under the same Magic banner.
