The Book Of Three

Lloyd Alexander · 1964 · Novel

Series: The Prydain Chronicles / Taran — #1

Synopsis

Taran is bored with his Assistant Pig-Keeper duties, even though his charge is none other than Hen Wen, Prydain's only oracular pig. He'd rather be doing something more heroic, like making swords and learning to use them. When Hen Wen escapes and Taran goes after her, he finds himself farther from home than he's ever been. Soon he begins to realize that heroism is no easy task.
