They are a 5 book series written by Llyod Alexander, and are based upon Welsh legends. I lkied them when I read them, and I am looking forward to seeing Disney's adapation (especially since THE BLACK CAULDRON is the second book in the series...). -- Allan McKillop (...ucbvax!ucdavis!minnie!ccs019) " Where there's a will, there's a relative..."
