“Taran, the gallant Assistant Pig-keeper, and his companions once again fare forth to destroy the evil that threatens their beloved country, Prydain…. A wise and wondrous tale written in epic fashion.” –Booklist
The Black Cauldron is a 1966 Newbery Honor Book.
The Newbery Medal-winning second book in Lloyd Alexander’s The Chronicles of Prydain series, The Black Cauldron—the inspiration for Disney’s 1985 cult animated film.
In the land of Prydain, evil is never far away. Arawn, Lord of the Land of Death, has been building an army of dark warriors to take over Prydain, and the only way to stop him is to destroy the Black Cauldron he uses to create his dreaded soldiers.
Taran, Assistant Pig-Keeper, and his loyal companions must journey deep into Arawn’s domain to destroy the Black Cauldron. For each of them, the quest has special meaning. For Taran, it is a glorious opportunity to use his first sword in battle. But war requires a sacrifice greater than he’d ever imagined. . . .
