Jody Lee's cover for the Dell Yearling edition of Taran Wanderer, the fourth novel in Lloyd Alexander's excellent and award-winning series The Chronicles of Prydain.

This five-part series is always marketed to children and young adults, but it's on the same level as J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, just not so lore-heavy, so adults will love it too.

The series is based on Welsh mythology, and has plenty of great characters and battles. A particular favorite character of mine is Gurgi, the furry guy in the foreground, who is ALWAYS hungry and has a great love for "the crunchings and munchings."

Disney first acquired the rights to the books in 1973. It took them until 1985 to release The Black Cauldron, a dismal adaptation of the first two books. The animated film received very mixed reviews and was a commercial flop that almost ended Disney's animation department.

Unfortunately, Disney re-acquired the book rights in 2016, with the goal of producing live action film versions of the tales. Little to no progress has been made on that project in the last ten years as far as I know.

Frankly, the books lend themselves to being adapted into a television series of maybe six-to-ten episodes per season. That would give each story room to breathe. It would also allow the audience to grow with Taran, the main character. He starts out in the first novel, The Book of Three, as a young teen, and by the time the series ends in The High King he is a young man.
