An enthralling biography of one of the most luminous shining
stars of fantasy and science fiction, world builder and
dragon master Anne McCaffrey, written by her son,
collaborator, and most devoted fan
While you’ve been to Pern . . . you haven’t heard the
stories behind the stories.
I propose to fix that.
When Anne McCaffrey’s Hugo Award–winning novella “Weyr
Search” appeared in the late 1960s as part of the novel
Dragonflight, the science fiction universe was gloriously
transformed as readers first experienced the exhilarating
thrill of soaring with dragons. With the many Pern novels
that followed, McCaffrey steadily won the hearts and
unwavering devotion of millions of fans, eventually earning
a permanent position on the New York Times bestseller list.
Dragonholder celebrates the birth and growth of McCaffrey’s
breathtaking literary vision, as well as the momentous
events of a life that was in many ways as extraordinary as
the worlds and characters that McCaffrey created.
No one understands or appreciates McCaffrey’s life and work
better than her son, Todd, does. In Dragonholder, her
frequent coauthor and avid fan intimately examines his
mother’s childhood and early adulthood, the amazing gift of
second sight she inherited from her own mother and
grandmother, the trials she faced juggling a career and a
family during the turbulent sixties, and her rise to
literary stardom—and he reveals the events and influences
that ultimately gave rise to the myriad wonders of Pern and
the other miraculous worlds borne of Anne McCaffrey’s
unparalleled imagination.
