SynopsisFor more than thirty years, Pern has conjured visions of brave men and women mounted upon the backs of dragons. As anyone knows who has been touched by the storytelling magic of Anne McCaffrey, to read of the exotic world of Pern is to inhabit it-and to experience its extraordinary dragons is to soar aloft with them and share their dazzling adventures. Now, A Gift of Dragons brings together three beloved stories and a thrilling new tale of Pern in a single volume illustrated with beautiful artwork by Tom Kidd. In "The Smallest Dragonboy," Keevan is the youngest dragonrider candidate, determined to impress a dragon when the next clutch of eggs hatches. But what transpires will surprise everyone-Keevan most of all. In "The Girl Who Heard Dragons," a young girl's rare ability to communicate with dragons puts her family in danger and will bring her face to face with her greatest fears-and with her most secret desire. The "Runner of Pern" is a girl named Tenna, who follows family tradition by delivering messages-and who will find her destiny on the mossy traces that runners have used for centuries under the dragon-filled sky. And finally, a very special gift: an exciting new Pern adventure, published here for the first time, fresh from the imagination of Anne McCaffrey.

  • Four stories about Pern

    Four short stories by Anne McCaffrey - two of which are not found in any other books that I could find. They are all about Pern, which I liked much better than "Get Off the Unicorn" and "The Girl who talked to Dragons" which include a mix of McCaffrey's other sci-fi and other writings.

    Lovely detail without being wordy. Characters developed well with real human interactions driving the story set with in the setting of the world of Pern. A perfect compliment to the longer books for those who want to learn more of that world.
