5.0 out of 5 stars Childhood favourite rediscovered, 14 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I first read this book as a child. It was "that book", a discovery, that I read and unexpectedly found myself drawn into a world that I had never been able to find before - outside of the Narnia books. The simple yet complex characters have not been forgotten in the decades since this book first captured my imagination.

This is an epic tale where Taran, our favourite assisstant pig-keeper, Gwydion, Eilonwy and co. must save their world from Arawn Cauldron-born who has the powerful sword of Dyrnwyn This action-packed fantasy is the last in the series about Taran and his friends. It is a fitting, glorious end to the series. Couldn't wait to turn each page, only problem was I ran out of pages to turn. The ending is incredible.

If you know a child who loves Narnia and Harry Potter you will win their hearts forever with this book and The Chronicles of Prydain. Definitely a must read for the young and young at heart!

5.0 out of 5 stars Could stories end in a better way? ( b-o.jonsson@hotmail.com), 15 Dec 2004
By B. Jonsson "Literate Warlock" (falun, dalarna sweden) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The High King is the last of five in the Prydain chronicles, a masterpiece Fantasy work that deserves it's own genre.
Taran finally finds what he's best at, to lead others.
He rallies troops and fights the evil hordes of Arawn in the last battle. He must then decide between traveling into the west, to live forever, with his friends, or stay as king and mortal in Prydain.

The first time I read the book, in my teens, I cried at the ending, but it couldn't end in any better way.
I went on reading all Alexander's books I could find (there is an abundance),but as good as they all are, they couldn't match the Prydain Chronicles.
Read them, reread them and give them to your children!
