James Schmitz wrote The Witches of Karres in 1966. Of his work, he is best known for this novel and the use of strong female protagonists. It is a delightful tale of a captain and his ship hauling cargo around the fringes of the known Empire. He rescues three underage slaves to find that they are three witches of the fabled Karres and the story unfolds from there. I enjoyed the mild humorous antics that his characters got into and worked through.
