EDITORIAL REVIEW:
**The Newbery-winning fantasy series now available in gorgeous new paperback editions!**
Since *The Book of Three* was first published in 1964, young readers have been enthralled by the adventures of Taran the Assistant Pig-Keeper and his quest to become a hero. Taran is joined by an engaging cast of characters that includes Eilonwy, the strong-willed and sharp-tongued princess; Fflewddur Fflam, the hyperbole-prone bard; the ever-faithful Gurgi; and the curmudgeonly DoliΒall of whom have become involved in an epic struggle between good and evil that shapes the fate of the legendary land of Prydain. Released over a period of five years, Lloyd Alexanderβs beautifully written tales not only captured childrenβs imaginations but also garnered the highest critical praise.
*The Black Cauldron* was a Newbery Honor Book, and the final volume in the chronicles, *The High King*, crowned the series by winning the Newbery Medal for Βthe most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.β
Henry Holt is proud to present this classic series in a new, redesigned paperback format. The jackets feature stunning art by acclaimed fantasy artist David Wyatt, giving the books a fresh look for todayβs generation of young fantasy lovers. The companion book of short stories, *The Foundling* is also available in paperback at this time.
