Summary
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
"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)

Disappointed
I love Anne McCaffrey's Pern books and was delighted to find them on Audible.
Until I heard the readers voice, the heavy American accent and strangulated vowels spoilt it for me. I found that her voices for the male and female characters were the same and could not at times pick up who was supposed to speaking. A great shame, I will not be purchasing the other Pern titles.

Terrible Narration
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Loved the book - Hated the boring drone of the narration
What other book might you compare Dragonsong: Harper Hall Trilogy, Volume 1 to, and why?
No compare - the books fall into the Dragonriders of Pern series
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Slow - boring - words mispronounced, just awful. Gave up after about 2 hours. I have Dragon Singer and Dragon Drums by the same narrator but have not bothered to listen.
Do you think Dragonsong: Harper Hall Trilogy, Volume 1 needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Already done - Dragon Singer & Dragon Drums
Any additional comments?
Try Anne McCaffrey's Freedom series. Much better.

Dragonsong
Dragonsong is the first in a trilogy set around the Harper hall written by Anne McCaffrey. The first time I read this book it totally enthralled me occaisionally bringing a tear to my eyes. A must read as are the other two (Dragonsinger and Dragondrums). I only wish that the Masterharper of Pern, Dragonquest, Dragonflight and the White Dragon were also available in audio. I would definately purchase them.

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,

dragon song - good read
had read this and all the other Dragon books from the late 70's onward and enjoyed all of them. I was looking forward to hearing Dragonsong read. I was not disappointed. The reader was very good, and did real justice to the emotional content of the writing. I shed a few tears. The story is self contained and can be read stand alone. If you haven't read any of the other books I think you could start in her, and then jump to the beginning without losing anything or continue with the other two in this short series. Im looking forward to singer & dragondrums.

Great Story, Odd Narration
The story was excellent as expected. The narrator had a very odd American accent though! Got used to it, more or less. I much preferred Sophie Aldred’s narration of some of the earlier books in the series.
