My dad read bedtime stories to me and my brother until I was in high school. He read us the Narnia books and Lord of the Rings and Sherlock Holmes and Asimov. He read us the Prydain books (The Book of Three, the Black Cauldron, etc) when I was about nine -- I remember this because I had a stuffed cat named Spikey, and the character Fflewddur Fflam is always described as having "spiky yellow hair."
I especially loved Prydan when I was a kid. In fact, I refused to read "The High King" until I was in high school because I was so traumatized by the series ending that I couldn't open the book.
I can't tell you my unfathomable levels of disappointment with the Disney movie. I bet they have the rights locked up for eternity too, so we'll never see one done right.
