A wise and wondrous tale written in epic fashion. Lloyd Alexander(1924-2007) was the author of more than forty books for children and adults, including the beloved childrens fantasy series, the Chronicles of Prydain, one of the most widely read series in the history of fantasy and the inspiration for the animated Disney film, The Black Cauldron. “Taran, the gallant Assistant Pig-keeper, and his companions once again fare forth to destroy the evil that threatens their beloved country, Prydain. TCoP has an overarching storyline, where as most of the Narnia books are self-contained and often dont even feature the same characters (though of course things connect from book to book, its not necessary to read more than one to understand whats going on for the most part).
Once-in-a-lifetime reading that will assure Prydain a permanent place in geographies of fictional territories.” - Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) I still remember reading the stories over and over again as a boy. “The same characteristics that made the first book so rich are again present-a fine flow of words an inticate, active plot an admirable balance between the forces of black and white magic. The Chronicles of Prydain was my first introduction into the world of literary fantasy, when I was a child.
