If it's by Lloyd Alexander (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_Alexander), that's the right stuff. Disney based the movie off of the books, which were published 20 some years earlier.
The Black Cauldron is the second in the series, though I'm sure you could start with it. If I recall correctly, the movie takes plot elements from a few of the books, rather than strictly following the novel's arc.
Somehow, I grew up on those books (and have yet to find anyone else who did D:) and didn't find out about the Disney movie long after I'd read the series. They are just...one-hundred-percent. Hope you like em!
