It's been awhile since I visited Pern, one of my favorite worlds as well as my introduction to science-fiction and fantasy.
Normally I don't like short stories but maybe my brain made an exception in this case because I could fit most of these into their right place in the Pern universe timelines, and none were a duplication of something I'd already read.
I wouldn't recommend this as an introduction to the universe as the stories span centuries and don't backfill for the mentioned people, places, and events.
