Oh alright. I agree: written for "young people" or not, the Prydain books
are amongst the elite of fantasy fiction. Certainly the best written, for
me. I read them as an adult, simultaneously with Eddison's first series. I
broke with a long tradition of cats being named after hobbits to name the
latest Fflewddur (dogs are named after Dwarves, and birds are named after
wizards).
