I've placed this new article in Category: Novels by Anne McCaffrey for the moment, although it is actually a collection of short stories. If anyone can provide a better category, please change it. Gubernatoria ( talk) 16:01, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Here we currently list the title story thus:
which I will revise thus:
The stub Cheap Street lists The Girl as one "fine book" published by that small press, linked to this article without explanation. Evidently 1986 refers to the Cheap Street edition of the novella.
These articles Cheap Street and The Girl Who Heard Dragons are both stubs, nearly orphans, unclaimed by any WikiProject. I am not a member of any pertinent project and don't know their procedures. I'll leave one notice at Science fiction, although Children's literature is a more frequent banner on talk pages for books by Anne McCaffrey. -- P64 ( talk) 14:26, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Now I have much revised the article, especially regarding previous publication of the stories collected. ISFDB Publication Listing indicates that five were original to the collection, but I suppose that database suffers from missing data and a previous editor was correct in giving earlier dates for all but two. So I have handled the discrepancy by marking "two were original" and three of the stories {citation needed}. -- P64 ( talk) 19:12, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
This is a draft {Infobox book} for the first edition novella, not the collection that is the subject of the article.

The familiar 24 books do not include small editions of novellas later collected or incorporated, such as this edition of "The Girl". The edition followed seven or perhaps eight of the 24, published in the same year(?) as Nerilka's Story (8th), month unknown (and year uncertain).
