Peace reigns in Caer Dallben, where Taran works as Assistant Pig-Keeper, but evil threatens the rest of Prydain. The diabolical Arawn's army grows every day, and his terrible warriors never die. They are born in the Black Cauldron from the stolen bodies of slain soldiers. If evil is to be defeated, the cauldron must be destroyed. Taran volunteers to travel to Arawn's stronghold and assist in the destruction of the dreaded cauldron. With his faithful friends reassembled, Taran marches off to face great danger with a courageous heart.©1965 Lloyd Alexander; (P)2004 Random House, Inc, Listening Library, a division of Random House, Inc.

Audio book review

This was a very interesting story. I really loved the magic, mystery, drama, adventure and dialogue. A pity Disney wasn’t more faithful to the books in the series. This is got me interested in reading the remaining three.

My only complaint is the voice actors depiction of Morgant. He sounds like a snake, which cheapens his betrayal by foreshadowing it in a way the author never intended and robbing him of honor earned prior to it.

Great Book

The five books in this classic coming-of-age series were written to be read aloud, and the narrator does a good job with them. They were favorite bedtime stories for our children and they enjoyed hearing them again while traveling. Although the main character is a boy growing to be a man, both my sons and daughter have read and re-read these stories. Be aware that some of the characters die in the later books, so this is not for very young children. Ages eight to twelve would be about right.

Well narrated for young listeners
