Very much enjoyed this classic. Listened to it this time around, and enjoyed the voices as well.

A great second entry in the Chronicles of Prydain! All the favorites are back, with some very compelling new characters as well. This book gets a little deeper into what it means to be a hero, without losing any of its sparkle and action.
