RIP, Lloyd Alexander

[ShannonA]

Lloyd Alexander, who you probably best know for his Chronicles of Prydain, passed away yesterday. Here's a complete story:

I remember that his books were some of those that I read through in grade school, along with the Wrinkle in Time books, the White Mountain books, and others.

Sad. The Chronicles of Prydain and The First Two Lives of Lucas Kasha were among my favourite books as a child, and they're still good.

damn. the Chronicles of Prydain where brilliant.

[The Last Conformist]

The Chronicles of Prydain were among the first fantasy works I ever read, borrowing them from the school library. I'll drink a toast to Alexander tonight.

[Something Else]

I didn't know the man was still alive... but Rest in Peace, he brought us some of the greatest works of fantasy ever...
