Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books The Book of Three (The Chronicles of Prydain #1)

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?

Taran wants to be a great warrior the likes of Gwydion, the greatest war leader in Prydain, but is stuck with pig-keeping and making horseshoes. 'Why? Why must it be horseshoes? . . . I wish I might have my own sword,' Taran sighed. 'And you would teach me sword-fighting.' 'Wisht!' cried Coll. 'Why should you want to know that? As if we had any battles at Caer Dallben.''We have no horses, either,' objected Taran.But adventure ensues when psychic pig Hen Wen runs away, and must be found before

I adored this series when I was a kid, and I was in the mood for some comfort food reading, and deeply curious to see whether reading it would still hold any pleasure for me decades later. Im happy to say that it did indeed hold many pleasures. There is an abiding sense of compassion and humor coursing through this book, even as its band of misfit adventurers face peril and hardship. It never reaches the poetic heights of Le Guins Earthsea Trilogy, another classic of childrens fantasy

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

Most GenXers' journey's into fantasy began with The Hobbit or right to The Lord of the Rings. I'm sure that for Millennials, those options are also matched by Harry Potter.But for me, it all began with the Chronicles of Prydain, closely followed by Gordon R. Dickinson's "The Dragon and the George". Now, 30 or so years later, I've had a chance to revisit these books as audiobooks, listening to them with my son every Saturday morning, as we drive back and forth to my martial arts studio. God, they

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? :)

4.5An Assistant Pig-Keeper, a snarky red-headed princess, one of those comical Bards with a tendency to exaggerate, a very Gollumesque (but considerably more pleasant) creature, and a really awesome horse go on a quest to find a really wise pig? That. Is brilliant. Add to that mix an abundance of magnificent Welsh names, mythology references, the no-nonsense but still witty writing style, and you have this delightful book.

Searching for books narrated by James Langton led me to this wonderful tale of an assistant pig keeper and his adventures. My next mission is to seek out the rest of the stories in this series.
