"The Prydain Companion is more than a quick reference or handy glossary, though it is all of that as well. Instructive, certainly. But, like any good companion, a pleasure to be with over a long period of time." —Lloyd Alexander, from the Foreword
This intriguing volume is at once a wonderful reference resource and a vehicle for exploration and discovery in itself. Complete with a biographical sketch of Lloyd Alexander, a personal Foreword by Mr. Alexander himself, a "How to Use the Companion" section from the author, pronunciation keys, and excerpts throughout, and "most substantially" an alphabetical guide to the peoples, places, and objects of the Prydain Chronicles, The Prydain Companion is a one-stop reference book for a beloved world of fantasy and magic.
So for those who love the works of Lloyd Alexander "young readers, teachers, researchers, all" and those who are only beginning to know them, here is a worthy and useful travelmate.
