The Book of Three By Lloyd Alexander
Since The Book of Three was first published in 1964, young readers have been enthralled by the adventures of Taran the Assistant Pig-Keeper and his quest to become a hero. Taran is joined by an engaging cast of characters that includes Eilonwy, the strong-willed and sharp-tongued princess; Fflewddur Fflam, the hyperbole-prone bard; the ever-faithful Gurgi; and the curmudgeonly Doli—all of whom have become involved in an epic struggle between good and evil that shapes the fate of the legendary land of Prydain.

This is my new favorite series, the way Lloyd Alexander weaves characters to their personalities is very appealing. The Book of Three is very interesting and there have been times where I could not put it down. Lloyd Alexander pulls the reader onto the next page with enthusiasm and a new way to get your heart-rate going!

ReplyDeleteYou talk about how thrilling it is, but are there slower scenes as well that you also enjoy reading? If so, what are they like?
ReplyDeleteYes, there are really cool scenes where characters need to solve a problem, this often involves tricky strategic decisions and knowledge.
ReplyDeleteDo any of the tricky decisions relate to every day life, or are they all relating to the issues particularly in the book?
ReplyDeleteDo you only like how this book is enticing? what about the charters do you like them?
ReplyDeleteHi, Gordon! This sounds like an engrossing read. Do you like it better than Tamar?
ReplyDeleteYes, in a way, Tamar is very dense and difficult to read. Whereas The Book Of Three allows you to get to the exciting bits faster!
