A pretty ordinary collection of stories at 3.11, with a couple that are decent. The Smallest Dragonboy is certainly very charming. A range of stuff, going from kid stories to bad soft porn (as she terms it) and like the Dragonboy tale, a few related to book series she has written.

I love it. Good read for all McCaffrey fans! ( )

This is a collection of McCaffrey's short stories.

Readers familiar with McCaffrey's work will recognize The Rowan, Damia, the Talents, K'van the dragonrider, The Ship Who Sang, and even Kris and Zaniel (sorta) from the Freedom books.

My favorite stories form this bunch though, are "Daughter" and it's sequel, which were sadly never developed into full novels.

This is a good sampling of McCaffrey's style and an excellent way to get introduced to a number of her various series. ( )

I think this is a must read for any Anne McCaffrey fan. Not only are there some great examples of her less well known stand alone short stories, many of her most famous series (Pern and the Rowan for example) actually started off as short stories that are included in this collection. Most fascinating perhaps is a rather risque story that is the basis for the Freedom series and a story about polyamory. ( )

The best part of the book is where the authors explain the title. They'd originally intended to call it "Get of the Unicorn" but a printer's error in a catalog accidentally renamed it... ( )
