[Extensive Prydain Guide] THE CHRONICLES OF PRYDAIN Blending rich elements of Welsh legend, universal
mythology and imagination, Lloyd Alexander created Prydain, a land of fantasy,
good and evil and heroes rooted in reality and truth.

“The Chronicle of Prydain is fantasy. Such things never happen in real life. Or do they? Most of us are called on to perform tasks far beyond what we can do. Our capabilities seldom match our aspirations, and we are often woefully unprepared. This extent, we are all Assistant Pig-Keepers at heart.” Through this engaging series, Taran grows from boy to man and finally meets up with his true destiny. Originally published over a period of five year from 1964 to 1968, “The Black Cauldron” was a Newbery Honor Book, and the final volume in the chronicles, “The High King”, was awarded the Newbery Medal. “The Foundling and Other Tales of Prydain,” is also available in hardcover for the first time in twenty years. Each volume now includes a pronunciation guide prepared by Lloyd Alexander. The handsome new jackets in metallic retain the original art of Caldecott Medal-winning artist Evaline Ness. | |
