Prydain Chronicles

Great book, the narrator was also great, can’t wait to listen to the next one

The black Cauldron

Audio book review

This was a very interesting story. I really loved the magic, mystery, drama, adventure and dialogue. A pity Disney wasn’t more faithful to the books in the series. This is got me interested in reading the remaining three.

great narrator and excellent story, of course!

been meaning to give this series a listen for a bit minute... wonderful! didn't disappoint at all!

Great Book

My only complaint is the voice actors depiction of Morgant. He sounds like a snake, which cheapens his betrayal by foreshadowing it in a way the author never intended and robbing him of honor earned prior to it.

Well narrated for young listeners

The five books in this classic coming-of-age series were written to be read aloud, and the narrator does a good job with them. They were favorite bedtime stories for our children and they enjoyed hearing them again while traveling. Although the main character is a boy growing to be a man, both my sons and daughter have read and re-read these stories. Be aware that some of the characters die in the later books, so this is not for very young children. Ages eight to twelve would be about right.

Wonderful story for kids & adults, great narration

My 8 yr old son, my 5 yr old daughter, my wife and I really enjoyed all of the Chronicles of Prydain books. James Langton's narration is fantastic.

Harry Potter, Percy Jackson Fans, This is For You!

This is the 2nd book in the Chronicles of Prydain, and a Newberry Award finalist. The 5th book in the series (The High King) won the Newberry Award. I highly recommend all five books. If you love great adventures, well drawn lovable characters, and profound life lessons, you will love Prydain. Lloyd Alexander creates the world of Prydain loosely based on Welsh mythology. They are excellent excellent books! For those who have listened to Harry Potter, James Langton does as good a job as Jim Dale. It was wonderful to listen to him bring Taran and his friends to life. This is a book written for younger readers (middle school and late elementary) but high schoolers and adults will take much from it also. Do yourself a favor--read these books!

Bogged down.

Good story but got a bit slow compared to book one. Looking forward to book three on the ride home
