The Girl Who Heard Dragons
By Anne McCaffrey
Dragonriders of Pern
$9.00
The Girl Who Heard Dragons is a feast for McCaffrey fans and for all readers – a big, satisfying compilation of her fiction never before collected in book form.
Best of all, it opens with an original short novel of Pern, “The Girl Who Heard Dragons.” In addition, the book contains 24 beautiful black and white drawings by award-winning artist Michael Whelan.
Romance, humour, colourful description and affecting characters are Anne McCaffrey’s hallmarks and the fifteen stories herein have these virtues in abundance. No wonder the Chicago Sun-Times described her as a “master of the well-told tale.”
“The Girl Who Heard Dragons” is the story of Aramina, a teenage girl of Pern who hears dragons – a skill which does not seem likely to help solve her family’s problems. They are “holdless,” and must constantly roam the land, trying to hide from bandits. Aramina’s mother fears losing her daughter completely to the life of a dragonrider, but McCaffrey has another fate in mind for her young heroine.
The fourteen other stories – all just as good – are:
Velvet Fields
Euterpe on a Fling
Duty Calls
A Sleeping Humpty Dumpty Beauty
The Mandalay Cure
A Flock of Geese
