Lloyd Alexander, beloved author of
The Black Cauldron died yesterday at age 83.
I remember as a kid reading his entire Prydain series. In fact,
The Horned King, was the book that really introduced me to High Fantasy. It was the second "fantasy" book I had ever read, the first being
The Hobbit. From there was born my love of fantasy and magic.
So goodbye Lloyd you shaped my life in ways I cannot begin to explain.
