If they've ever been away it's good to have these back, with new covers from a new publisher. The five-book sequence has always had a powerful hold over readers which the Disney film supported (although a pale version of the stories). Against other equivalent sequences by Cooper or Le Guin it may lose out, but the main character's well-meaning ineptitude (and his title of Assistant Pig Keeper) keeps a nicely ordinary and humorous place for the reader to observe and take part in the intense battle of good against evil.
