I, myself being a fan of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit was immediately hooked. This book was set in Wales. This story is about a young man called Taran with the title of Assistant Pig-Keeper. Who has to chase after the special pig that can tell the future. In this journey, he meets Princess Eilonwy at Spiral Castle who is forced to learn enchantments from her "Aunt" Achren. Which she hates doing o because she was actually kidnapped by her. Taran on his journey with Gydion was also captured by Achren and whilst being captured they find another companion Fflewddur Fflam. A lord and minor king. Lloyd Alexander structure this book very carefully and very well, for this reason, I am going to give the book 9.5 stars out of 10
