If you haven't read the books, she is even better in them.


The Taran book series is incredible. Basically anything that Lloyd Alexander’s pen ever touched was gold.


Fun fact about the name Lloyd, it's an anglicization of the Welsh word Llwyd, meaning grey, and was originally an epithet applied for being the color grey, or grey haired, or in some cases brown and related colors. So it's a bit like the last name Brown or White, but has become first name, oddly enough.

And the welsh word is pronounced with that particular welsh "Ll" sound, a fricative around the tongue, but the word Lloyd lost that pronunciation - but not before we had alterations like Floyd and Fludd.

My all-time favorite series.
