- Listened to the audiobook and I haven’t found something yet that compares to the sheer whimsy and darkness of the series!
Cons
- The Chronicles of Prydain stand up as quite solid on that simple, primary level, but other than a greater appreciation for mythological connections, I didn't feel like there was much more there for my adult self to take away that my chil...
- I recently re-read the series as an adult. It didn't enthrall me the same way as it did when I was a child, somehow it felt a bit light weight.

Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander
Chronicles of Prydain was my first fantasy I ever read at the age of 10 in the summer of 1981. I still remember camping out in a tent in the back yard and reading the books as fast as my mom could buy them. I came her to recommend then saw it above and wanted to reinforce how amazing it was.

The Chronicles of Prydain stand up as quite solid on that simple, primary level, but other than a greater appreciation for mythological connections, I didn't feel like there was much more there for my adult self to take away that my childhood self hadn't picked up already.
Excellent books. In my top three. I've been reading them for close to 40 years.

Legendary. A classic of the genre. Should get way more respect.
I recently re-read the series as an adult. It didn't enthrall me the same way as it did when I was a child, somehow it felt a bit light weight.
It's fantastic and made a lasting impression on me. More people should read it.
Never met anyone thats actually read it which saddens me because its honestly my favourite fantasy series ever.
