The chronicles of prydain series by Lloyd Alexander, is one of my favorite series since it was the second fantasy thing for me. I read most of the books in the series but I didn't finish the fourth or 5th due to it being stolen or misplaced. It is an easy enjoyable read and well written. There was also a Disney movie on it, called the black cauldron that was bad. But it's a good read, my dad would read one to us when we were little. Its a good bed time story for kids. But by the third book it gets darker.
