One million words later, I'm not allowed to stop!" According to Anne McCaffrey, in a world where there is so much trouble and pain, it is her intention to give people someplace where there is hope. And that is exactly what she has created for hundreds of readers of all ages in her many volumes on Pern including: Dragon- flight, Dragonquest, The White Dragon, Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern and the Harper Hall Trilogy, Dragonsong, Dragonsinger and Dragondrums. Artist Robin Wood met Anne McCaffrey at the first totally Pern-oriented convention in the U.S., Istacon, held in Atlanta, Georgia in 1984. However, prior to that, Robin had designed and executed portraits of Pern characters for the Mayfair Games board game, Dragonriders of Prrn. In the ensuing conversation about what the characters from the Pern books really looked like, The People of Perm was born. Four years of work followed, with Robin and Anne comparing notes at conventions, discussing details of Pern and its people, passing letters and sketches across the Atlantic and arriving at mutually satisfactory conclusions. Donning/Starblaze is proud to present this first, authentic look at the people of Pern, a collaboration of the finest kind between two of the finest artists available today. Pern, the third world of a golden, G-type star, was initially colonized from earth and is a place of Dragon Weyrs, Holds, and Craft Halls. It is a colorful blend of Middle Ages, modernity and magic.
