All her life, Menolly has longed to learn the ancient secrets of the Harpers, the master musicians of Harper Hall.

Hiding in a cave by the sea, she finds nine magical fire lizards who join her on a breathtaking journey to Harper Hall.
Anne McCaffrey's enchanting tales of Pern, with all their colorful dragons and fantastic characters, have won her millions of fans around the world. The winner of the Hugo and Nebula Award, she is one of the best-loved writers in all of fantasy literature.
Critic reviews
"Menolly's independent, resolute character, the fascinating dragon lore, and a certain poetic quality of style all combine to create an original fantasy...akin to the work of Ursula LeGuin." ( Horn Book)

All time favorite
This was the first of the PERN novels I read so many years ago. I loved it back then and I loved listening to it now and will now go on and listen to the rest.
I know some didn't like the narration but I found it good. It was clear and the individual characters were voiced well.

very good rendering of a delightful story.
I have enjoyed Anne McCaffrey's books for decades and thought to try an audiobook version. The narrator is good though I would have preferred an Irish or Welsh accent and the story still held true to the magic of AM's writings despite being abridged. It is still a very enjoyable version of what should to my mind a classic sci fantasy series.

Narration at its best
Brought together in one volume, this is a great way to appreciate some of Anne McCaffrey's stories. If you love the Dragon series, you will love these tales.
I first read these whilst I was growing up, and it was great to recapture the spirit through someone else's voice and intonation,

Perfect combination of story and voice!
I've loved Anne McCaffrey's world of Pern, especially Menolly's storyline. This reader's voice is perfect. A Great Success!

Vety good listen
After many years, it was good to “read” this trilogy again. Well read, with no “jarring” to pull you out of the book.
Glad to see Anne McCaffrey getting a bit more recognition. I believe she always considered herself as writing science fiction with romance attached.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Difficult to stop listening. I want a fire lizard! A bronze would be even better!

Enjoyed listening to a much loved story
Living in the UK , the pronunciation of names of characters in my head were of course different from the American pronunciation in this American book ..however Sally Darling does the Anne Mc Caffrey proud ..I loved listening to this favourite tale this week - Enjoy !
