I specifically remember talking about the black cauldron which is in the pride and chronicles which is like my formative fantasy series.
The Black Cauldron (1965)
Taran, Assistant Pig-Keeper of Prydain, faces even more dangers as he seeks the magical Black Cauldron, the chief implement of the evil powers of Arawn, lord of the Land of Death.
what captured me was similar to philip chase as well was lloyd alexander's the black cauldron so this series so tara and wanderer and all of these books in the chronicles of prydane are so good
