Dragon Holder

Haven't had time to read it, yet. Just glance thru it. I liked the way Todd writes about his Mother(Anne). Would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about Anne McCaffrey's life. Catlya_191 in Columbus,MS

Wonderful- couldn't put it down.

Todd McCaffrey opens a window to the room that is the life of his Mother. We readers get an intimate view of her life, her works, her struggles and triumphs. A must-read for any Anne McCaffrey fan, this book tells the story of a woman who has triumphed in a genre, and era where being a single mother was not common. We can feel the regard Todd has for his mum. Mr. McCaffrey does a fabulous job giving us an anthology of her life, while allowing her the privacy of the daily grind. I adored the family anecdotes and the memories Todd shares of growing up. I would have loved a reference time-line, Would love to see addition of others view of Anne. Alec, Gigi, Jan and so forth.

The book came in expected condition. They shipped quickly and did a great job.

Sometimes teasing, always affectionate, fans will love it

It's not hard to understand why Todd McCaffrey might be fond and proud of his mother. Anne McCaffrey remains one of the finest science fiction authors in the genre today, over thirty years after she began writing. It's also not hard to see that he is indeed very fond and very proud of her when you turn the pages of this biography. Told from his own point of view as someone who was there for quite a lot of it, this story of Anne's life vivdly illustrates her family tree, her childhood, her activity in the worlds of theater and music, her less-than-satisfying marriage to Todd's father, and how she got started writing her marvelous books. Complete with family photos and written with ill-concealed amusement and love, this is the kind of book any mother would want her child to write about her.
