Description

The Newbery-winning fantasy series available these days in beautiful fresh book versions! Because The Book of Three was initially published in 1964, young readers have now been enthralled by the adventures of Taran the Assistant Pig-Keeper and his journey to be always a hero. Taran is joined by an engaging cast of characters that includes Eilonwy, the strong-willed and sharp-tongued princess; Fflewddur Fflam, the hyperbole-prone bard; the ever-faithful Gurgi; and the curmudgeonly Doli--all whom have grown to be in an epic battle between good and evil that shapes the fate of the legendary land of Prydain. Launched over a period of time of five years, Lloyd Alexander's superbly written stories not just captured children's imaginations but additionally received the greatest critical praise.
