The Magic series is a collection of children’s fantasy novels that began with Andre Norton’s Steel Magic in 1965. Each book follows young protagonists who discover doorways to magical worlds, often through everyday objects that turn out to be enchanted. The series includes titles like Octagon Magic (1967), Dragon Magic (1967), and Fur Magic (1968).
Norton continued the series through the 1970s with Lavender-Green Magic (1974) and Red Hart Magic (1976). The final entry, Dragon Mage (2009), was co-written with Jean Rabe and brought the series to a close more than four decades after it began. The books are connected by their theme of childhood discovery and magical transformation rather than by shared characters or settings.
