Published by Atheneum Books in 1979, it was the sixth to appear in the ''Dragonriders of Pern'' series by Anne or her son Todd McCaffrey.〔. Retrieved 2011-10-09.〕 ''Dragondrums'' completed the ''Harper Hall of Pern'' trilogy one year after ''The White Dragon'' completed the ''Dragonriders of Pern'' trilogy. Boxed and omnibus editions of both trilogies soon followed. ==Plot summary== ''Dragondrums'' is the coming of age story of Piemur, a small, quick, clever apprentice at Harper Hall. When Piemur's clear treble voice changes at puberty, his place among the Harpers is no longer certain. He is sent to the drum towers to learn drumming, the primary method of long-distance communication on Pern for non-dragonriders, while his voice settles. There he has to deal with the jealousy and bullying of the other drumming apprentices. When Masterharper Robinton secretly asks Piemur to be his apprentice, Piemur begins journeying through Pern, gathering information and running discreet errands for the Masterharper. In his adventures throughout Pern, Piemur has only his knowledge and wits to deal with a cruel Lord Holder and rogue dragonriders. He Impresses one of the coveted fire-lizards – a gold he names Farli – as a companion, discovers his place in the world, and earns journeyman status among the Harpers.'' The events in ''Dragondrums'' take place after ''Dragonsinger'' and are contiguous with some events in ''The White Dragon'', which discusses characters and events elsewhere on Pern. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dragondrums」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
