Book Review: The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander
Some books are good the way pizza is good, offering a nice (or shocking or spicy) experience that pleases the senses. Some books are good the way a narrator is good, displaying a high level of skill that appeals to the intelligent mind.

I love his other writings, so when I saw The Black Arrow at a used-book sale, I snatched it up.
