The Black Cauldron (The Chronicles of Prydain) 118 reviews Lloyd Alexander
Henry Holt and Co. BYR Paperbacks, 2006
Great Fantasy
+ The second in the series of Alexander's Prydain Chronicles + The Black Cauldron
Lloyd Alexander was one of my favorite authors as a young adult and his work has really held up now that I'm an adult. The stories and characters are just so well crafted and executed. This is a great book to go back to or to get for someone who is just starting to explore the realms of fantasy.
