The Prydain Chronicles (The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, The Castle of
Llyr, Taran Wanderer, and The High King) is one of the best Fantasy series I've
read (especially for a Juvenile/Young Adult fiction series). Unfortunately, I
broke my read-it-once-a-year-cycle, so I need to pick up some new copies of it.
;) Other ones I liked include The Foundling and Other Tales of Prydain, The
First Two Lives of Lukas-Kasha, The Vesper Holly series (Illyrian Adventure)
and the book about Fflewder Fflam. I know I read others by him, but for the
life of me, I can't remember what they were. :) I know I either wanted to
read or started The Kestrel, but I don't think I finished it. :( Most of
these I read about 8-10 years ago, so your mileage may vary. :)
Looks like I gotta do some book buying now. :)
