Description

|
|
|
Princess Eilonwy must leave her friends to go to the Isle of Mona for training as a proper princess, in this third book in the series. Because Eilonwy has magical powers, she is sought by the evil enchantress Achren, and disappears shortly after her arrival on the island. Eilonwy's loyal friends—Taran, the Assistant Pig-Keeper; Flewddur, the bard; and Prince Rhun, her intended husband—realize her peril and set out to rescue her, encountering great evil as well as private, sometimes painful revelations in the course of their journey. Since The Book of Three was first published in 1964, Lloyd Alexander's gripping and witty magical tales have captured the imaginations of readers 9 and up, earning the Newbery Medal and Honor as well as nominations for the National Book and American Book Awards. Inspired by Welsh mythology, the Chronicles of Prydain recount the many adventures of Taran the Assistant Pig-keeper and his heroic friends in their quest to save the land of Prydain from darkest evil.
