A quest for identity across Prydain

In the fourth Chronicles of Prydain novel, Taran’s hopes for a future with Princess Eilonwy lead him to question the origins he has never known. Traveling with Gurgi through Prydain’s varied realms, he seeks answers from the witches of the Marshes of Morva and the mystical Mirror of Llunet. The journey ties the book’s adventure to a question of identity: whether noble ancestry can define who Taran is, and what it means to discover the truth about oneself. A pronunciation guide is included.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers following The Chronicles of Prydain, particularly those ready for its fourth book.
  • For young readers interested in fantasy quests, imagined realms, and stories about identity and origins.

Book overview

Taran Wanderer, the fourth book in Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain

Taran is an Assistant Pig-Keeper no longer--he has become a hero. Now he dreams of winning the hand of Princess Eilonwy, but how can someone who has spent his whole life caring for a pig hope to marry royalty? Taran must find out who he really is. Eager to learn his origins and hoping to discover noble roots, Taran sets off with the faithful Gurgi.

The journey takes the companions to the three witches in the Marshes of Morva and through the many realms of Prydain. At last they reach the mystical Mirror of Llunet, which reveals a person's true identity. Yet Taran may not be ready to face the truth. . . .

Includes a new pronunciation guide.
