Prydain Companion: A Reference Guide to Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles

Description:

For those who love the works of Lloyd Alexander and those who are only beginning to know them, here is a worthy and useful travelmate--now featuring gorgeously designed edges.

"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, excerpts throughout, and--most substantially--an alphabetical guide to the people, places, and objects of the Prydain Chronicles, The Prydain Companion is a one-stop reference book for a beloved world of fantasy and magic.
