![]() ![]() I recently read the Underland Chronicles, which were very good, but I convinced the little pug to let me read the Chronicles of Prydain to him at bedtime, and I was reminded of how much I love these books. Today’s kids have the Warriors, the Owls of Ga’Hoole, How to Train Your Dragon, Harry Potter (of course), and the list goes on and on. There was Tolkien, of course, but not a lot of little kids are ready for Tolkien. When I was a kid, I had the Chronicles of Narnia, the Chronicles of Prydain, and a now-out-of-print series called the Seven Citadels, and that was about it for good fantasy series. However, modern kids do have one big advantage over those of us who grew up in the 80s, and that is the incredible range and scope of children’s literature. ![]() ![]() Having a 7-year-old and working in a high school, I don’t usually play the “kids today have it so easy” card.
