 This series of books was marvelous! June 5, 2008
Excellent books for children and adults alike. The children in my family loved them as did I. Highly recommended reading!
Excellent Series for Children! June 5, 2008
I loved these as a child, and I have given sets to other children also. All children enjoy these books. They have adventure, humor and they show what it's like to grow. I've even read them again as an adult, and I enjoyed them just as much.
One of my favorite children's series of books! June 5, 2008
This was one of my favorite series of books when I was a child. After becoming an adult, I reread them, and I enjoyed them just as much. I gave these books as gifts to children in my family, and they loved them also! I recommend the Chronicles of Prydain for every youngster.
Just as marvelous as the first three times May 1, 2008
I first got into the Prydain series via Disney's adaptation of The Black Cauldron when I was little. After seeing and loving the cartoon, I read the books and loved them even more. It didn't occur to me until I was much older how far the movie really does stray from the books, but I hold both versions near and dear to my heart. I just finished rereading The Book of Three for at least the fourth time, and it's just as marvelous as it was when I was a kid.
An adventure for all ages April 12, 2008
The first book in the "Prydain Chronicles" is a fun, fast read. Written as an adventure for younger readers, it still has lots of excitement for adults.
This series is based upon Welsh mythology, and it weaves an epic tale of heroes, dark lords, evil sorceresses and death hearlds with horns that can sap all the joy out of the world.
Tying all this together is an assistant pig-keeper named Taran, who sets out to find his future-telling pig in the woods and ends up in a battle against the champion of the dark lord.
This book is a lot like the Narnia books might have been if Lewis had dispensed with all the allegorical material and written a straight up fantasy adventure. That said, it is not without its own power, and there is a real sense of character growth and pathos in the book.
