The Dragonriders of Pern - Publication Order
Enter the pseudo-medieval world of Pern, where dragons & their bonded riders live & work together to protect all from the destructive entity, Thread.
I've listed in order of publication, which is arguably the best way for new readers to approach this series. I've included Todd & Gigi McCaffrey's books also
*Please note I placed The White Dragon/The Smallest Dragonboy after the Harper Hall trilogy, though technically published between the trilogy books, so as to keep the trilogy together

Please note:
The Smallest Dragonboy and Runner of Pern are short stories that can be found in the book, A Gift of Dragons.
The anthology book The Dragonlover's Guide to Pern is in the list to point to the story The Impression, found within.
The anthology book Legends 1 also contains Runner of Pern and Legends 2 contains the short story Beyond Between.
It's of course not necessary to read the Todd and Gigi McCaffrey books, but I've added them in for those readers who want to know where they fit!
Please do let me know if I've missed something or placed something wrongly. It's a sprawling chronicle and this sure taxed my fogged brain! đ
