taran is desperate for adventure, something in short supply for a lowly assistant pig-keeper. When the famous oracular pig Hen Wen vanishes, taran begins a perilous quest which demands all his courage and strength. Accompanied by his larger-than-life band of followers including hot-headed Eilonwy and the disgruntled dwarf Doli, taran confronts the evil forces of the Horned King, the witch Achren, and their army of lifeless cauldron-born warriors.

Lloyd Alexander is saddly little known in Australia, which is a shame as all his work is brilliant. He should be as well known as J.K. Rowling and Roald Dahl.

My copy of The Book of Three, and the rest of the Prydain Chronicles, are from the 70s, falling apart at the spine, with pages getting thin and dogeared from so much turning. I honestly don't know how many times I read this series.

I do know that I love them still, and the characters and events remain quite clear in my mind to this day, possibly 25 years since I last read them.

I really need to read them again. And soon.
