The Chronicles of Prydain consists of five major books written by Lloyd Alexander and published by Henry Holt in the 1960s. These award winning fantasy novels are among the finest in children's literature and have enjoyed a loyal following throughout the world since they were first published. They are a melding of Welsh mythology and Alexander's own fertile imagination.
