From the back cover:

Packed with action, humor, romance, and gallantry, Taran's adventures chronicle his beloved Prydain and his battle with the forces of evil.

Used paperback passed to me by a friend to "do the bookcrossing thing". So here it is, to be released. Not planning to read it only because fantasy stories are not an easy genre for me to follow.

Mailed today in a book trade with raralovestoread. Enjoy!

This book arrived in the mail while I was out-of-town for Thanksgiving. It was sent to me by Bunnybee as part of a trade. Thanks!

I really enjoyed the first book in The Chronicles of Prydain series. This is a wonderful introduction to several of the main characters - Taran, Eilonwy, Fflewddur, Gurgi, and Gwydion. Thanks for sharing this book with me, Bunnybee!

Tomorrow I am mailing this book to faeriemyst in Ohio. Enjoy!

Thank you so much! I can't wait to get to this series, although it'll most likely have to wait until this summer. :)

As raralovestoread said, The Book of Three is a fantastic introduction to the characters; what a motley crew of they are! I especially found Gurgi wonderful, he rather reminds me of Dobby from Harry Potter a bit, and his rhyming sayings made me smile and/or chuckle (my favorite being 'with great squeakings and shriekings'). I can't wait to read further adventures with the gang. :)

I was sad to hear that Lloyd Alexander passed away recently (I think it was May 17), but am glad his words are around for people to discover and enjoy.

This is a very enjoyable, fast-paced journey to spend a few hours reading, and I can't wait to read the next one.
