  • The Castle of Llyr is the third book in The Chronicles of Prydain series by Lloyd Alexander. It is the most traditionally romantic episode of the Chronicles, with the protagonist pursuing a damsel in distress and wishing to express his feelings for her. At the same time, the plot is a classic mystery, which the ensemble characters work to solve. Themes of the fortuitous accident, of magic enhancing already inherent traits, and of music soothing the savage breast may lift the reader's spirit. Revenge and power-hunger are further touched on, as are thwarted dreams and the challenges of the onerous oath.
