About this listen

 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)

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

I’m biased, I know, because I read it as a teenager. I do love the Pern novels and this Audio book is performed well.

Loved it as a child, love it as an adult

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.

very good rendering of a delightful story.
