This is a delightful book, one of my personal favorites. I discovered the two Dragonsinger books (Dragonsong and Dragonsinger) in the local library while I was recovering from a work injury and devoured them both in 48 hours.I bought both in paperback many years ago, and they are yellow with age but still get re-read every couple of years. When I need something I know will give me a lift I reach for this book. Now have purchased it again as a Kindle book.This is about a young and gifted girl hoping to attain her dream. I have just re-read it (probably for the tenth time)in my 50s and still finished it with tears in my eyes.
