The Chronicles of Prydain (also referred to as the Prydain Chronicles) are the series of books written and published from 1964-68, 73 in the order of: The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, The Castle of Llyr, Taran Wanderer, The High King, and followed by The Foundling and Other Tales of Prydain which precedes the events in the previous books. Many of the names and ideas were based off of Welsh mythology. Considered by many to be Lloyd Alexander's greatest work, the series received numerous awards, including a Newbery Honor for The Black Cauldron and a Newbery Medal Award for The High King. The stories follow the main character, Taran, as he goes through many adventures and battles, while becoming a man.
