Book of Three is a fast-moving fantasy set in the mythical land of Prydain, featuring the hero figure Taran who becomes deeply involved in a struggle of the forces of evil against the forces of good. In league with the lustrous Prince Gwydian and companion Gurgi, many dangerous adventures keep the imaginative reader spellbound to the final climactic encounter with The Dark King.

Lloyd Alexander has written a series of books, known as the Prydian Chronicles, of which the Book of Three is one. The intricate plot development, based on Celtic mythology, and the wildly imaginative events make this book of special appeal to better readers from grades 3-6. The study guide provides information about the author and guides teachers through the study of plot, theme, characterization, style, vocabulary development, etc.
