Dyrnwyn, the sword of great power, has fallen into the hands of Arawn, Death-Lord. Taran and Prince Gwydion raise an army and begin the epic march to re-capture the sword and destroy Arawn and his followers once and for all. After arriving at Mount Dragon, Arawn’s stronghold, they face the greatest danger yet, and Taran must make the most crucial decision of his life.
This book is one of my favorites. Being the last book, it was hard to realize that there wouldn’t be any more to read about my favorite characters, but, overall, it’s a great ending of a great series.

In this medieval story, young Robin falls ill and loses the power of moving both his legs. With his father in the army and his mother called to serve the queen, he is left alone with a few servants. Then, when the servants catch the Plague, Brother Luke comes and takes Robin to the hospice, where Robin learns useful skills, while at the same time learning patience. Sir Peter summons Robin to the castle, so Robin, Brother Luke and John-in-the-Wynd set out. After having several adventures, they arrive at the castle and Robin finds his “door in the wall” when the castle is besieged by a Welsh army.
Pretty good book! You can learn more about medieval times and also have adventure along the way!

The crowds flock to see the race between Man o’ War, the great American horse, and Sir Barton, the pride of Canada. As Mr. Riddle, the owner of Man o’ War, watches, he knows that he is watching Man o’ War run his last race. Though friends want Man o’ War to run in the Newmarket race, Mr. Riddle wants to retire him in perfect condition. Man o’ War’s blood was traceable in unbroken line to the great Godolphin Arabian, Sham! It was hard to convince his friends that his plan was the right one. Often he had to go back two hundred years and tell the story of the Godolphin Arabian, who, though his pedigree was destroyed, was the King of the Wind…
I enjoyed reading this. Our copy is falling apart, but however tattered the book may be, there might be a wonderful story inside!
