Deltora Quest. Book AND anime.

[Ryougi Yasumaru]

Here's a link to the Books: http://www.scholastic.com/deltora/books.htm

And here's a link to Part 1/3 of the first episode of the anime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l0uVU7gm-w

The books are awesome in my opinion, but the anime left stuff out.

Oooh .. I love Deltora Quest (Not as much as Artemis Fowl or Harry Potter but whatever ;3) I never watched the Anime though ... Barda & Doom is soooo my favorite characters!
