The Black Cauldron
Book • 1990
In the land of Prydain, evil is never far away.
Arawn, Lord of the Land of Death, has been building an army of dark warriors to take over Prydain, and the only way to stop him is to destroy the Black Cauldron he uses to create his dreaded soldiers.
Taran, Assistant Pig-Keeper, and his loyal companions must journey deep into Arawn's domain to destroy the Black Cauldron.
For each of them, the quest has special meaning, and it requires a sacrifice greater than they ever imagined.
The book is inspired by Welsh mythology and was a Newbery Honor book in 1966.
