Lloyd Alexander, fantasy author of the Prydain Chronicles (among many other books) died today.

"Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress."

"All that writers can do is keep trying to say what is deepest in their hearts."

That's really sad! :-( He was such a good author. I especially liked The Iron Ring and The Chronicles of Prydain.
