The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander

5.0

---

This is the second book in the Chronicles of Prydain series. In it, the main characters are on a quest to destroy an infamous item of sorcery, a black cauldron. I am sure this is a wonderful book for children up to the age of 11 or 12, but it might easily become disappointing for older readers, because the plot and the characters are too simple and too stereotypical. However, this does not change that the book is well written for children, which makes it a 5 star book for me.
