Review of 'The Foundling' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A collection of short tales set in Prydain, written after the Chronicles of Prydain series. They tell a little bit more about the world and some of the characters in the main series - such as where Dalben grew up, and how Fflewdur Fflam got his harp. It's a short read and they're short stories, really more little fables than anything more weighty, but if you're a fan of the series and want a bit more they're a nice addition. They probably don't mean much to anyone who hasn't read the series, however.
