re: BLACK CAULDRON review

A couple of minor errors appeared in the review.  Lloyd Alexander's "Prydain 
Cycle" consists of five books, not four: THE BOOK OF THREE, THE BLACK CAULDRON,
THE CASTLE OF LLYR, TARAN WANDERER, and THE HIGH KING (the latter won the
Newberry Award for best children's book in whatever year it appeared).
The film "The Black Cauldron" has never purported to be based on all
five books, but only the first two.  While I thought the Horned King
looked delightfully nasty, I was rather disappointed because (if I
remember right from the books) the Horned King was merely an ambitious
evil king who wore a deer skull with antlers, hence his name.
