I think that I've agreed with you about Prydain here in the past, but I just
can't let an opportunity pass unanswered. Alexander's Prydain books are just
about the best fantasy fiction that I've ever read. I read it all as a kid and
I happen to think that The Hobbit is OK (certainly better than LOTR), Narnia is
OK (though I can't get into it like I did when I was five), Harry Potter is
better than either (which must be why people from about age three all the way
up like it a great deal), but above all of that Prydain just Rocks. If you
don't want to buy the whole boxed set, just get The Book of Three and you'll be
hooked.
