Book Reviews of Catfantastic. Nine Lives and Fifteen Tales
Book Review: Tails of felines fantastical and science-fictional
Summary: 5 Stars
The late Andre Norton was a great cat lover and often wrote cats or catlike creatures into her novels. Here she teams with the incredibly prolific Martin H. Greenberg to edit the first of five delightful feline-themed anthologies whose cat-heroes and -heroines live sometimes in the future, sometimes in the past, and sometimes in dimensions other than our own. The 15 original stories here collected include Wilanne Schneider Belden's "The Gate of the Kittens" (written in Norton's own Witch World series), Clare Bell's "The Damcat" (a Hopi shaman and his bobcat partner help defend a dam being built in the 1930's against malevolent sorcery), Elizabeth H. Boyer's "Borrowing Trouble" (an accident-prone apprentice sorcerer and his feline familiar end up saving his master from a jealous enemy), Mercedes Lackey's "SKitty," "Jayge Carr's "Wart," and Patricia Shaw Mathews's "The Game of Cat and Rabbit" (cats gone to space in the distant future prove their worth both onworld and off), Marylois Dunn's "Yellow Eyes" (a cat and a hound in a vaguely Medieval setting team up to find out why the local game is disappearing), Donna Farley's "It Must Be Some Place" (a tortoiseshell tomcat helps a wizard's apprentice search the Land of Lost Things for a missing invisibility charm), P. M. Griffin's "Trouble" (in a city vaguely like Dublin, a cat leads a young girl to the wizard who can help her learn to use her innate magical powers), Ann Miller and Karen Elizabeth Rigley's "It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's...Supercat!" (an sf writer and her cat team up with an extraterrestrial to capture an escaped alien bird), and Norton's own "Noble Warrior" (given to an early-19th-Century English sea captain for his daughter, a Siamese cat from a long line of palace guardians teams up with the family's Hob, or house-spirit, to defend the child and her great-aunt from a sinister governess). Any lover of cats will delight in this anthology, which has remained in print for 20 years and bids fair to last as long again.
