Book of Three
Book of Three | Lloyd Alexander
The Newbery-winning fantasy series now available in gorgeous new paperback editions! Since "The Book of Three" was first published in 1964, young readers have been enthralled by the adventures of Taran the Assistant Pig-Keeper and his quest to become 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 of whom have become involved in an epic struggle between good and evil that shapes the fate of the legendary land of Prydain. Released over a period of five years, Lloyd Alexander's beautifully written tales not only captured children's imaginations but also garnered the highest critical praise. "The Black Cauldron" was a Newbery Honor Book, and the final volume in the chronicles, "The High King," crowned the series by winning the Newbery Medal for "the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children."Henry Holt is proud to present this classic series in a new, redesigned paperback format. The jackets feature stunning art by acclaimed fantasy artist David Wyatt, giving the books a fresh look for today's generation of young fantasy lovers. The companion book of short stories, "The Foundling" is also available in paperback at this time. In their more than thirty years in print, the Chronicles of Prydain have become the standard of excellence in fantasy literature for children."

Another NYPL 100 Best Kids Books read.

This was a quick read about Taran and his friends and adventures. Definitely recommended and reminded me somewhat or LOTR and Narnia. Although, if you loved those two, I am sure you've read this one.

A soft pick but entertaining enough that I've added this to list of series to finish.

Oh I am so sad I never read this as a child, it would have been an instant favorite. It‘s adorable, funny and oh so sweet. Also there were so many other characters that I loved and helped flesh out the story that were not included in the Disney movie adaptation. I‘m excited to start the next book!

imyril One of my lifelong faves - always happy to see someone discover them. Book two is probably my fave, hope you enjoy it! 3y

Went to b&n only to look and found they had the whole set for once of The Chronicles of Prydain and snagged them while I could. I have never read these but of course have seen The Black Cauldron movie so I‘m finally going to do the proper thing and read the series haha.I‘m also strangely fine with the non removable award stickers on two of them.

Clare-Dragonfly I looooooved these books. Hmm… might be time for a reread! 3y

#20series20days - Day 3 - random order - I absolutely love the Chronicles of Prydain, although my copies are quite mismatched!! Taran's growth through the series is a delight to watch, and Alexander's world-building is fantastic. This was the first (although not the last) series to inspire me with a yearning to visit Wales. Someday!!

I think Taran Wanderer is my favorite, but it's honestly hard to choose!!
@Andrew65

Andrew65 Sounds great! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 - I'm a little surprised that you've never read these - they seem like books you would have come across already!! They are fun stories, but as a young reader I think I was mostly drawn in by the absolute magic of the names involved, which Alexander borrowed heavily from the Welsh! 4y

Curiouser_and_curiouser I only have the Book Of Three, given to as a child. Is this the first book in this series? Looks like I will have to hunt out the rest to complete the collection. 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Curiouser_and_curiouser - Yes, Book of Three is the first in the series. They're aimed at younger readers, so they can be a smidge simplistic at times, but the world-building, characters, and sense of place are delightful. I highly recommend reading the first one to see if you'll enjoy them. 4y

This series makes me nostalgic. I loved them as a child and when I noticed that Audible had the first two books as a collection for one credit, I decided to listen to the adventures of my favorite assistant pig keeper again. The audio version is wonderful. I love hearing all the Welsh sounding names. This collection contains the Book of Three and the Black Cauldron. A wonderful listen.

Bradleygirl I never thought of getting these via audio to get the Welsh sounds right! that's genius. 4y

#WyrdAndWonder day 27: not all heroes wear capes

“Coll? A hero? But he‘s so bald!” - and yet, Taran of Caer Dallben. And yet.

I adore the Prydain books and the many lessons their hotheaded protagonist has to learn; not least the many shapes heroism may take, few of which are advertised with youth or a full head of hair.

TheAromaofBooks Oh I LOVE these books so much! 4y
imyril @TheAromaofBooks one of my earliest memories of mail ordering books - I don‘t recall whether it was The Black Cauldron or The Castle of Llyr - but whichever it was I ordered the other next time around and then slowly hunted up the rest. I read so many series completely out of sequence as a kid 😂 didn‘t reduce how much I love them 💝 4y

(audiobook review)

I really enjoyed this rendition of one of my all time favorite books!! The narrator had a really soothing pitch and momentum that lulled me into the story. I wasn‘t a *big* fan of how pronounced he made Eilonwy‘s voice, but it didn‘t stop me from falling in love with her, and Taran, and Flam and Gurgi and all the rest all over again! 2nd for #24in48

Bought all 5 books of Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain some years back, used for about $10 total. FINALLY got around to reading the first of the series and am annoyed with myself for waiting so long. A funtastic story full of adventure, suspense, and a world rich with history, magical creatures, and diverse characters. Excited to continue on through the saga!

In fourth grade, I discovered this book and it quickly became my favorite and started my love of fantasy novels! Though I read it multiple times when younger, I listened to the audio version for the first time now and was surprised with how much I remembered- though written in the 1960s, this book still holds up today and it feels modern and fresh! And #audiocoloring while listening was a genuine treat!!

Clare-Dragonfly I really loved these books as a kid! I reread them… sometime in the past ten years and I think I still loved them. 6y

Finished reading this to the kid tonight. She loved it! Which kind of surprised me, I admit. We'll read a few other things before forging ahead in the series.
It does read a bit like other fantasy series, with some stock characters, but it's a great middle-grade quest/good-vs-evil with young protagonist story. Good intro to Tolkien and other classics.

Published in the 1960s, this start to The Chronicles of Prydain holds its own in the world of high fantasy written for children. The key is the witty dialog and quirky cast of characters. Taran is an assistant pig-keeper who longs to be a hero. When he gets the opportunity, he learns it‘s more complicated & just as dangerous as he expected. As I read it, I couldn‘t help but think it was like LOTR for young readers (in a good way). A fun read.

#fallintobooks days 18 & 19:
The Book of Three and the rest of the Black Cauldron series is a bit of a #sentimental read for me as it was probably the first fantasy and #quest -related books that I read (and reread over and over) as a kid. I loved the story of a young pig keeper and the special pig he cares for. And the band of misfits he meets along the way!

I first read this book when I was seven or eight, and found it all kinds of epic. Reading it again as an adult, it was a little less so. While still a great story with enjoyable characters, I found the pacing a little too quick. Listening to the audiobook I just kept wishing the author would slow down and let me savor the depth of the world. Still a great read. If rated with stars, it'd be a 4 out of 5. Not sure if I'll continue the series.
