Praise
for Cora Anderson
"Visiting Victor and Cora meant
stepping into a magical realm hidden behind the facade of an ordinary
suburban house. Victor would sit in his rocking chair; I'd ask
questions, and he would roam the galaxies in his answers. Cora would
chime in with warmth, wisdom and common sense. And then we might go do
magic..."
--Starhawk, author
of The
Spiral Dance
