What this book is about
Taran, assistant pig-keeper for the enchanter Dallben, wants adventure and heroism—and gets far more than he bargained for when the oracular pig Hen Wen escapes and he sets out after her, joining a quest to stop the Horned King. Lloyd Alexander's beloved Prydain Chronicles opener is a classic of middle-grade fantasy.
