A good jaunt back

Good for anyone who has read the Prydain Chronicles, as it delves into stories of touched on but never more than lightly in the books and brings back a couple main characters.

Good stories with good morals

These stories do a good job of filling in some back story and teach good lessons about personal character, but it did not tell us about Gurgle.

Brilliant return to the world

A beautiful return to a masterpiece. I'm happy I listened to my gut. Words cannot overstate how well Lloyd Alexander is a master of wordcraft.

Short but good!

If you are a fan of the prydain chronichles you'll enjoy this thoroughly. Happy Listening!

Simply wonderful

Wonderful quite simply. Delightful in every way that delightfulness is able to be measured or weighed.
