Taran feels like
he needs to know who is parents are in order to know who he is, so he sets out on
a quest. He is told of a mirror that
will show him the truth, so Gurgi and Taran meet many people, good and bad,
along the way. Taran wants to be of
royal birth so he can marry Eilonwy and he struggles internally with what it
means to be Taran.
I love the Chronicles
of Prydain. Like all of Alexander’s
books, Taran Wanderer has great characters who fight against evil, usually while
on a journey. This is the 50th
Anniversary cloth cover edition and there are some extras in the back,
including a pronunciation guide. The
violence is PG because there is a death but it’s not graphic. This is a great boy read.
