I re-read the Prydain Chronicles today at School...okay, not all of them, but The High King, which never fails to make me cry.
And even though this may be blasphemous, I have always preferred the epic scope and fantasy/history that Alexander's Prydain Chronicles provided over JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Though I know if it wasn't for Tolkien, the Prydain Chronicles may never have existed. It's mostly the language that wins me over to Alexander everytime - plus Eilowny? Possibly my first crush on a fictional female character.
how funny!
