The Black Cauldron
Mass Market Paperback
(Laurel Leaf Aug. 16, 1985)
In the imaginary land of Prydain, where "evil is never distant," it has become imperative that the Black Cauldron, chief implement of the diabolical Arawn, be destroyed. In this cauldron Arawn has created his terrible army of diabolical warriors from the stolen bodies of the slain. For each of those chosen to journey to Arawn's domain, the quest has a special meaning; to Taran, Assistant Pig-Keeper, the adventure becomes a glorious opportunity to wear his first sword and prove himself a man among men. Based on The Chronicles of Prydain. "The same kind of engagingly fantastic nonsense lightens this story as it did The Book of Three; but the overtones here are more truly heroic. The reader's involvement is intense as the excitement leads up to the climactic meeting of tragedy and triumph. An exalting experience." --Horn Book
