Maybe have taken longer to get to the UK. Or maybe you just didn't stumble on them! I don't remember at all now how I found Pern.Rebecca M.

I think it's about year 9 now, but I'm not sure since they changed the system here. We still have primary school age 7 - 11 and secondary school 11-16 or 18.

And now my mind is churning over the possibilities if there WERE a dolphin on that glass, in this land-locked kingdom...a mystery for Calla.<br /><br />I've been a sucker for dragons ever since I stumbled onto Pern back in Junior High (about age 12--I have NO idea what you call that level; even after dozens and dozens of British children's books, I've never really figured out the educational system.

I nearly forgot envelope entirely - edited it in at the last moment.<br /><br />I love this Dragon Lore tale.
