“Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.”
― Lloyd Alexander
― Lloyd Alexander
“Most of us are called on to perform tasks far beyond what we can do. Our capabilities seldom match our aspirations, and we are often woefully unprepared. To this extent, we are all Assistant Pig-Keepers at heart.”
― Lloyd Alexander, The Book of Three
― Lloyd Alexander, The Book of Three
“Child, child, do you not see? For each of us comes a time when we must be more than what we are.”
― Lloyd Alexander, The Castle of Llyr

Eilonwy- good at talking, annoying people, and being altogether enchanting
Taran- sometimes a bit lost, but a hero at heart
Gurgi- the only thing more important than supplying your rumbling-grumbling stomach with delicious crunchings and munchings is helping your friends
Fflewder- what's life without a little color, a story's only as good as you make it up to be
Dolli- grumpy and terse exterior, pathetically soft-hearted interior
