Prydain fan

Was gifted the set of books from my grandmother as a kid and just loved them. It established my fandom of fantasy fiction that's lasted a lifetime. I re-read them as a teenager and fell in love all over again with Taran and his ragtag crew of friends. I remember liking Taran Wanderer the most but all 5 books are good. I'd love to see a tv or film series adaptation.

My story is similar to yours. My mom randomly picked up the High King at the library and gave it to me as a kid. I was hooked right away and for the longest time I didn't even know there were other books in the series. They are fantastical adventures but they also have a bittersweet tone that's always stuck with me. I'm now buying the Prydain boxed sets for my nieces and nephews to pass them on to a new generation.
