'The White Dragon' read by the author Anne McCaffrey side A/1

Caedmon Recording 1978
The White Dragon from chapters 3,4,5 and 6
Read by the Author Anne McCaffrey

Apologies for the roughness of the recording. I just hit Record with my iPhone while just playing the Caedmon vinyl record I got myself for Christmas from eBay on a record player in the same room. I probably should have set it up so the camera was looking at the cover image for the duration or something (?) and I might re-record or re-edit the video to have something more than a scene from 'between' for the duration.

As of 2/2/21 I'm starting to clean up the auto generated Closed Captions and if it were me, I'd play them for the duration but that's just free advice. Anyway, just wanted to put this out in an open archive here in case my record or record player gets damaged or something.

Also, feel free to hit the 'like' on the video if you do happen to enjoy it.

This is so amazing. Just shows how great of a writer Anne was. Perfect to hear the author herself read it. This is such a special thing to share, thank you so much!!!

Thank you for sharing! It was brilliant to hear Anne and also find out my pronunciation was off with a couple of people. 😂

Anne was Irish. This isn't Anne. This is Adrienne Barbau, who read the abridged audio book.

I found part of the plot doesn't seem to follow the logic of pertinent abilities the dragons have. Particularly the ability to go back in time.
The book mentions an attack upon Ruatha Hold by another Hold leaving only a few alive such as Lessa and I think Jaxom.
Yet as dragons can go back in time as Lessa went back in time to get old time dragonriders, Lessa certainly would have gone back in time before the attack and rallied forces to prevent the attack by various methods!
