![]() ![]() Because it is a sacred space to me.ĪT:Have you read the New York Times article, “ Adventurous, Alone, Attacked”?ĪT:What do you think of the times when the media victimizes women traveling alone?ĬS:Honestly, both stories are true. I love that I guided people to that thing. Because I think if my only legacy is that a bunch of people went out hiking in the wilderness, so be it. The question that has come up here a bit at TravelCon: is it a good idea or bad idea to write about places so that then people go to those places? When I think of the PCT, I am very proud that people hiked that trail because of me. ![]() ![]() And I love that I made it known to people. Unless you were in the long distance hiking community you wouldn’t know about the PCT. And I love that so many people took from Wild the affirmation that they too can do it.ĪT:I feel like you’re credited with making the Pacific Crest Trail popular today.ĬS:When I first started doing events for the book I would often ask the audience how many of you have heard about the Pacific Crest Trail before you read Wild? And nobody would raise their hand. I knew I could do it because women before me did it. I think about all of the women who have forged paths, ways and trails before me. ![]() ![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel. ![]() NB All our estimates are based on business days and assume that shipping and delivery don't occur on holidays and weekends.

While each of the stories is an adventure in itself, and several of them are quest tales ( The Black Cauldron and Taran Wanderer in particular), the overall story arc is that of the Hero’s Journey: the coming of age of Taran, orphan and Assistant Pig-keeper. ![]() ![]() To my mind, the Chronicles of Prydain remain one of the best MG fantasy series ever written. My early love for the tales has never died. I cheered Taran’s every success, and I cried every time I read the ending of The High King. I loved these books as a child! I wanted to be Princess Eilonwy and longed to live in Prydain. ReviewĪlong with the Chronicles of Narnia, the Prydain books were my first real introduction to fantasy.

Henry Holt is proud to present this classic series to a new generation of young readers. The Black Cauldron was a Newbery Honor Book, and the final volume in the chronicles, The High King, crowned the series by winning the Newbery Medal for "the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children." Released over a period of five years, Lloyd Alexander's beautifully written tales not only captured children's imaginations but also garnered the highest critical praise. Taran is joined by an engaging cast of characters that includes Eilonwy, the strong-willed and sharp-tongued princess Fflewddur Fflam, the hyperbole-prone bard the ever-faithful Gurgi and the curmudgeonly Doli-all of whom become involved in an epic struggle between good and evil that shapes the fate of the legendary land of Prydain. Since The Book of Three was first published in 1964, young readers have been enthralled by the adventures of Taran the Assistant Pig-keeper and his quest to become a hero. ![]() ![]() ![]() Trust me, it ends far too soon even with so many pages.

The different writing styles were interesting, differentiating the tales as easily as the characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() While Christmas is a central theme (along with romance of course!), it remains in the background and allows the characters and their story to shine through.
