I LOVE these books ... seriously, by...Oh, my gosh! I LOVE these books ... seriously, by the time you finish the fifth one, you will be crying.<br /><br />I actually just finished reading the series with my second-grade daughter, and it was like reliving childhood :-)<br /><br />I was always a voracious reader, and I found that the best source was my brother's backpack ... the greatest gift I ever found were Lloyd Alexander's Prydain books. <br /><br />While it's the standard hero's quest motif, the characterization that goes along with the book really raises the series to the top.<br /><br />If you've never read these books, you're missing out. They have it all--adventure, humor (one character has a harp that snaps its strings every time he tells a lie, and ... well, he's prone to exaggeration--it's freaking hysterical), drama, magic, and even a budding romance :-)<br /><br />Thanks so much for giving them the attention they deserve :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955854427063032485noreply@blogger.com
