Taran dreams of adventure, but nothing exciting ever happens
to an Assistant Pig-Keeper--until his pig runs away. A chase through the woods
leads Taran far from home and into great danger, for evil prowls the land of
Prydain. With a collection of strange and wonderful friends whom he meets on
his journey, Taran finds himself fighting so that good may triumph over
evil--and so that his beloved home will not fall to a diabolical fiend.
This was a great series inspired by Welsh mythology and folklore. I really enjoyed seeing the main character, Taran, develop as the story progressed. It is very dark and intense during some parts, so I might not recommend this to a young audience, but it was quite captivating. If you have a youth interested in this series, suggest not reading it before bed and he or she will be fine.
