Andre Norton was a trailblazer in the contemporary science fiction and fantasy genres throughout her career. As a woman, she forged a path through a male-dominated industry and cemented herself as one of the most popular authors in these genres. Her accolades include many awards including being named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. We were honored to be given the opportunity to bring her Witch World series to life in audio and understood the importance of finding a voice that adequately represents such a prolific author’s work.
Meet Adjoa Andoh.
You’ll recognize her as Lady Danbury in Netflix’s hit new series Bridgerton, but Adjoa has a long history of dazzling performances not just in film & television but in plays, on the radio, and narrating audiobooks. Her voice carries traces of magic that we knew would lift Norton’s words off the pages and transform them into a living breathing audio escape. Alongside John Lee, her performance of the high fantasy Witch World series is nothing short of brilliance and we are thrilled for listeners around the world to finally experience the great Andre Norton’s work brought to life.
