[Michlib-l] Help Identifying Book!

Just to be clear it is the dragon on the left.  It is artwork by Michael Whelan (corrected from original reply) for the book Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern.

The patron drawing does not capture the small rider which is in the original artwork.

I agree with David - looks like a Dragonriders of Pern cover.

Dragon on the left

Circa 1983

Interesting story about artist having his hand in a cast.

Loved the Dragonriders series back in the day.

Hello, Collective Brain!

I need some help trying to identify a book for a patron. We know that it is either YA or Adult Fiction and have a sketch based on the patron's recollection of the cover (attached below), but that's about it. The patron doesn't remember the author, title, or much about the content beyond that dragons played a heavy role in the plot.

If anyone has any ideas as to what it could be, I'd love to hear them! I thought perhaps it was something by Anne McCaffrey, but haven't found a match for the illustration provided.

Thanks for your help,
Erin
