Fur Magic

Edición de la obra Fur Magic

"Cory blinked, and blinked again. His hands! But those were not hands, those were paws - with claws and a coarse brown fur covering them! And his body - he was no longer standing on two feet; he was squatting back on rounded haunches, his hind feet big paws with webs between the toes. Over all his body was thick fur. Frightened, he turned to look behind him. There was a broad, flat tail lying in the dust behind, balancing him as he stood, or rather crouched, before the fire. It had no fur, but was scaled instead. What had happened to him, and to the world he had known?" When he began his summer of adventure on a Western rancn in Idaho, Cory Alder stepped into a world far beyond his wildest expectations. He was already in a strange, unfamiliar land - a land of high heeled boots and cowboy hats, of horses and rifles - and Indians. Stumbling into a desert cave, he is plunged into a world more mysterious and frightening than he has ever known—a world of mythical, furry animals in which he is himself transformed into the creature 'Yellow Shell.' Will he unravel the mystery of this powerful Indian magic? Will he find a path back to the world he once knew, back to Uncle Jasper and the ranch. . . . back to the Cory he once was? In Fur Magic Andre Norton has woven a breathtaking tale of courage, mystery, and magic - Alicia Austin has captured the fantasy in ten extraordinary full-color and forty black & white illustrations and spots. Together, Norton and Austin blaze with the power of Indian magic! Theirs is a story to share . . . and share again.
