Barely a blip on the news radar, another great author passed away on May 17th. Lloyd Alexander wrote one of the finest children’s book series ever made. Harry Potter ain’t got nothin’ on Taran in The Chronicles of Prydain. Oh, you don’t recognize that name? How about the most famous book from it, made into one of the best Disney films, The Black Cauldron?

When I was young, these were some of my favorite stories, and I knew very few kids who hadn’t read them, or at least watched the movies. Why is there so little press for this man’s passing? I actually searched for it on Reuters and CNN and nothing came up. Very odd.

Farewell, Lloyd Alexander, you planted a truly great adventure in my head, that joined the list of the few things I can still bother to remember as I get older.

Ahh, text gaming, how I can look back with nostalgia upon thee, and yet have absolutely no intention of ever firing any of you up again.

Still, it was fun to mess with the word filters, as witnessed by:
