The Castle of Llyr by Lloyd Alexander
Taran, the Assistant Pig-Keeper, and his companions return in another adventure in The Chronicles of Prydain. This time Taran and Gurgi escort Eilonwy to the Isle of Mona, where she will be trained as a proper princess by King Rhuddlum and Queen Teleria. On the ship to Mona, they meet Prince Rhun, the cheerful but inept son of the king and queen. Once on Mona, Taran finds his old friend Fflewddur Fflam, and meets again Prince Gwydion disguised as a shoemaker. It seems that Gwydion has discovered that the evil enchantress Achren is hunting for Eilonwy. Once again, the companions are called on to fight against evil. Read this episode to find out what happens to Taran and Eilonwy.
