Taran wanted to be a hero, and looking after a pig wasn't exactly heroic, even though Hen Wen was an oracular pig. But the day that Hen Wen vanished, Taran was led into an enchanting and perilous world. With his band of followers, he confronted the Horned King and his terrible Cauldron-Born. These were the forces of evil, and only Hen Wen knew the secret of keeping the kingdom of Prydain safe from them. But who would find her first?

Criticism Containing Books The Book of Three (The Chronicles of Prydain #1)

This is really where it all began for me. Over three decades ago this book set me on the path to a lifelong love of, and later career, in fantasy fiction. Between the ages of ten and thirteen I must have read this book six times or more, along with all the others in the series. Alexander's blend of Welsh legend and modern fantasy tropes is both enchanting and compelling and the adventures of Taran, orphan and assistant pig-keeper, are a truly classic example of the hero's journey from boy to

The Chronicles of Prydain is a classic fantasy adventure that does what great classics, fantasies and adventures do to readers- make them love them. Who says classics cannot be as fun as Percy Jackson series? :)

I bought the box set for the Chronicles of Prydain a short while ago and read most of the first novel while on holiday in Barcelona, which is partially why I havent written some reviews for a while. I cant believe I missed out this series when I was younger because it has so many elements that are right up my street, although I watched The Black Cauldron Disney film based off this book back then.The novel follows the story of protagonist Taran of Caer Dallben, who is bored of his life as an

Started reading this because I am studying a Lloyd Alexander book in school, and I wanted more of his writing, and this is what the library had. This isn't YA it was found in the Children's section so it is different from all that I have lately been reading, and that was okay. It had it's own excitement, but it wasn't so intense or fast paced. Still, it was very, very good.The characters were all really memorable. There was Taran, the Assistant Pig-Keeper, the Prince Gwydion, who is very much

A childhood favorite which remains one of the most wonderful books I've ever read. Part of what makes it so engaging is the unconventional nature of the protagonists, all of whom are defined as much by the faults as by their virtues: Taran, far from being a "Marty Stu", is infuriatingly impetuous, hotheaded, and stubborn (a character so well-defined that until others pointed it out, i never noticed that his appearance was never described); Eilonwy, far from being a "Mary Sue", is scatterbrained,

Back in the days before Harry Potter, I was too young to get through Tolkien and wasn't interested in The Chronicles of Narnia - fortunately, I had The Chronicles of Prydain. The series (there are five books in all) takes place in a setting similar to Wales in the Middle Ages. The main character is an assistant pig-keeper named Taran - the reason there's a need for both a pig-keeper and an assistant is because the pig in question can predict the future. The books are full of witches, magic

Blast From The Past Year Zero: Hooboy. I have conflicted feelings about the book, and my feelings about those conflicted feelings are also conflicted. So there's that. To make a long story short I loved this series when I was kid, I needed to pick up a gift for my nephew who is apparently Mini-Me, so I grabbed him the first couple of books in this series. Figured I'd give him something better to read then the Eragon type crap he's reading now. Of course I couldn't resist but take a look at them
