The Prydain Chronicles Book Four: Taran Wanderer

By: Lloyd Alexander

Narrated by: James Langton

Taran, the assistant pig-keeper who wants to be a hero, goes questing for knowledge of his parentage, hoping that his journey will ennoble him in the eyes of Eilonwy, the princess with the red-gold hair. Accompanied by several loyal friends, Taran begins his search when three wily enchantresses of the Marshes of Morva send him to consult the Mirror of Llunet for the answers he is seeking, cryptically promising that "the finding takes no more than the looking." During his adventures he meets Craddoc, the shepherd, and the common people of Prydain, whom he comes to respect and admire. With their help, he continues his mission to learn the secret of the Mirror and the truth about himself.©1967 Lloyd Alexander; (P)2004 Random House, Inc.

Remarkable

This is a truely remarkable collection of short stories woven or shaped around the main character. All who would dare to wander should give this book a read.

Timeless classic

I cannot count the number of times we have listened to this treasure of an audiobook (the whole series is magical). Every member of our family has enjoyed them, kids and parents alike.

Wayfarers still journeying for Wanderers at rest

This installment to the Pyrdain Chronicles is my least favorite, The story seemed a little disjointed with him learning the new crafts at the end, but this was all important for him to learn for the next book.

Everything

We liked every part of this wonderful story . And the acting is excellent .

My son and I are enjoying listening to the entire series for the second time.

It’s a good story, but it doesn’t add a lot to the overarching story

I wish this story had more to do with what was happening in pyrdain from the previous books. I still enjoyed it though
