The First Chronicles Of Prydain

Although it is your typical fantasy fair, it has a charm to it that's hard to dislike. There are obvious parallels to Lord of the Rings, but on its own it is a fun adventure with memorable characters that I warmed too right off the bat. There is nothing epic or gritty here, obviously geared toward the younger crowd, but didn't seem to speak down to them. Enjoyable if not particularly challenging.
