Summary: Amazing short stories
Review: This is an amazing collection of short stories, that fills in gaps in the immortal Prydain Chronicles. Among the stories are the chilling story of Spiral Castle and the sword Dyrnwyn, a story of crime and horrific punishment, and the story of Angharad, Eilonwy's mother, who defied tradition and orders for true love. Also, the backstory for the three hags in the Marshes of Morva, the book of Three, and the foundling Dallben. A must-see for Prydain fans.

Summary: A wonderful follow-up to the Prydain Chronicles
Review: To say the least this book was great. It succeded in taking me back to the unforgetable land of Prydain, all the while deepening the story of the Prydain chronicles by telling where some of the characters came from and making the intire series make a lot more sense. Kind of like how The Phantom Menace made the original story of Star Wars make more sense. Each story in this wonderful book is crafted with such care and presision that it makes even the shortest ones seem like complete novels for all I got out of them. The stories are: The Foundling, An interesting story that tells of Dallben as a child, and the witches of the Marshes of Morva.The Stone, A funny, lighthearted story of a greedy yet harmless farmer's unfortunate encounter with Doli of the Fair Folk. The True Enchanter, My personal favorite. The story of Eilonwy's mother Angharad, and how she met Eilonwy's father. The Rascal Crow, A funny tale of Medwyn and Kadwyr the Crow. The Sword, A dark story of how Dyrnwyn came to be. The Smith, The Weaver, and the Harper, A compelling tale of greed and good overcoming evil The Truthful Harp, a Hillarious story of Fflewddur Fflam as a king and how he aquired his infamous harp. Coll and his White Pig, An interesting story of Coll on his own adventure to rescue his pig Henwen. So, I would recommend this book not only to fans of the original series, but also to people who havn't had the pleasure of reading them yet; anyone could enjoy them.
