Blurb (from back cover): "Taran, the assistant pig-keeper, who wants to be a hero, goes questing for knowledge of his parentage, hoping that his journey will ennoble him in the eyes of Eilonwy, the princess with the red-gold hair. Accompanied by several loyal friends, Taran begins his search when three wily enchantresses of the Marshes of Morva send him to consult the Mirror of Llunet for the answers he is seeking, cryptically promising that 'the finding takes no more than the looking.' During his adventures he meets Craddoc, the shepherd and the common people of Prydain, whom he comes to respect and admire. With their help, he continues his mission to learn the secret of the Mirror and the truth about himself."
Opinion: Not as good as others in the series but it was a story that had to be told for Taran's character. Went by quickly.
