To the best of my knowledge, Andre Norton has never won a major award for
fiction (although she has had two Hugo nominations).  Paradoxically, she
has won every Life-Achievement award given in SF.  This illustrates that
the body of Andre Norton's work is more important than any particular
story.  The first book DAW published was a Witch World novel.  The first
book Tor published was "Forerunner"

Probably as many kids have gotten hooked on SF by reading a Norton
story as reading any other author (Heinlein is probably tied for this
honor).  Virtually all of her characters must go through some rite of
passage, making her work appealing to juveniles.  Personally, I really
like Norton's work.  In her books, science and technology always take a
back seat to plot and character.  And while she isn't a great prose
stylist, her style is effective in presenting her story.  And to me,
Andre Norton is a great *STORY-TELLER*.

She writes both SF and Fantasy, and her stories are set in a wide variety
of settings, aliens, cultures and technologies.  Her most famous fantasy
work is the Witch World series.  This divides into two separate cycles:
Halleck & Estcarp.  I prefer the Estcarp stories myself.

Although Witch World is better known, most of her SF is science fiction. 
And most of her science fiction is space opera (in the best possible
sense):  men bravely exploring the outer reaches of the galaxy, finding
strange artifacts, meeting alien races and struggling against
overwhelming odds.  While her many  SF books aren't really part of a
single series, they do share a common background:  The rise and fall of
the human galactic empire, where many alien races co-exist and the ruins
of other, older empires ("Forerunners") are scattered with odd and
powerful artifacts. Psychic powers and partnerships with alien/animals
are prominent.  These stories take place anytime & anywhere in this
history, with little details (the game of stars and comets) adding to
the flavor.

Listed below are her ~95 SF books, plus her ~22 non-SF books.  Most of
the non-SF are historical fiction with no obvious fantastic element.  A
number of these have been marketed as SF anyway (If C. J. Cherryh's "The
Paladin" [a fine historical novel, by the way] can be marketed as
fantasy, I can include Andre Norton's historical novels in my listing).

[C] == Story Collection.
[CB] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet).
[YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them).
[O] == Omnibus.  Includes other books.
[= ...] == Also known by this other title.
