I've read most of the co-written Witch World stuff in the last few years. Some I liked, some I didn't--it was pretty clear all along, I thought, that Ms Norton wasn't writing anything but the forewords. (As our bibliographer/expert describes the process, it seems to be exactly the way the later Saint books were concocted.) In one book (too far away to go look), a ship from our world passes into the Witch World--that was clearly by Norton, and had a lot of good things in it. But I don't believe Norton wrote much of THE WARDING OF WITCH WORLD, even though hers is the only name on it...what a terrible disappointment. Still, I'd like to see the other books in that trilogy in hardcover, just to complete my collection.
