The Gifts of Asti by Andre Norton - Andr...

SCOTT MILLER
About this episode

She was the guardian of the worlds, but HER world was dead. The Gifts of Asti by Andre Norton, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


The first story we ever narrated by Andre Norton, All Cats Are Gray, was so popular that we decided to do another one of her stories as soon as possible.


I had never heard of the publication Fantasy Book which, like many publications of the time, didn't last long. Fantasy Book published 8 issues from 1947 thru 1951 and disappeared for more than 30 years with an issue in 1985 and another in 1986.


From Fantasy Book Volume 1 Number 3 in July, 1948 our story is found on page 8, The Gifts of Asti by Andre Norton…


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A touching tale of an Astronette–and why the gentle rain from Heaven has the quality of mercy. I Bring Fresh Flowers by Robert F. Young.
