Summary

Our Patron Book Club joins us to discuss Lloyd Alexander's "The Black Cauldron", the case of Joseph's unreturned hardback, the unsuccessful animated adaptation, the advantage of nostalgia, complaining about invisibility, the butchering of the Welsh language, annoying anatogonists, a horse's suicide, Thor's hammer, bringing relatively low-level characters into a big epic continent-spanning war, contacting the Alexander estate, and much more!
