Great introduction to the dragons of Pern.
01/30/2017. I am not sure how many times I have read these first 6 books of the Pern series, but it was just what I needed, an old favorite.
01/26/2019. It was time for a re-read. I just love these first 6 books.
02/21/2020. reading again.
01/22/2021. Read again
04/24/2021: It seems as though I am reading this every year. If I feel as though my reading is dragging a bit, or not enjoying what I am reading, I turn to these books, because they never fail to enchant me.

debs4jc's review against another edition
i very much enjoyed this simple coming of age story. menolly has great musical talent--but it is put down and hidden because she is a girl and the custom of her hold says that girls cannot be harpers. she is abused so much she ends up running away to find a new life with fire lizards, but must be wary of the ever present danger of thread.
