An informative resource for formal studies of the Prydain Chronicles, as well as an excellent opportunity to delve into the fantastic workings of Prydain
"""The Prydain Companion" is more than a quick reference or handy glossary, though it is all of that as well. Instructive, certainly. But, like any good companion, a pleasure to be with over a long period of time." --Lloyd Alexander, from the foreword"
This intriguing volume is at once a wonderful reference resource and a vehicle for exploration and discovery in itself. Complete with a biographical sketch of Lloyd Alexander, a personal foreword by Mr. Alexander, a "How to Use the Companion" section from the author, pronunciation keys, excerpts throughout, and--most substantially--an alphabetical guide to the peoples, places, and objects of the Prydain Chronicles, "The Prydain Companion" is a one-stop reference book for a beloved world of fantasy and magic.
For those who love the works of Lloyd Alexander--young readers, teachers, researchers, all--and those who are only beginning to know them, here is a worthy and useful travelmate.
