 Journey to the wonder-filled world of Pern in the first volume of Anne McCaffrey's best-selling Harper Hall Trilogy. Dragonsong is the spellbinding tale of Menolly of Half Circle Hold, a brave young girl who flees her seaside village and discovers the legendary fire lizards of Pern.

All her life, Menolly has longed to learn the ancient secrets of the Harpers, the master musicians of Harper Hall. When her stern father denies her the chance to make her dream come true, Menolly runs away from home. 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

"McCaffrey uses great imaginative powers in constructing her intricate and intriguing story." ( Booklist)
"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)

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.

All time favorite

I read many of Anne McAffery's Pern stories, over forty years ago now. I had not read this. The main character is present in many of the other tales and it was great to hear this back story fill out her early life. Well read and performed this brings the old familiar world of Pern with all it's colour and joy nack to life.

A great telling from the world of Pern. A place I visited often in my youth. Great to return

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.

Vety good listen

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,

Narration at its best
