The Book of Three was mentioned by one of my favorite authors as her childhood favorite. It was published in the 1960s and since then has won the hearts of many readers. This is the first book in a five-part series. I have only read the first one so far. The story is inspired by Welsh lore and mythology and is set in the land of Prydain, where fantastical creatures walk the earth, magic is real and valiant heroes get into sword fights with evil sorcerers. The book follows the adventures of Taran the assistant Pig-Keeper and an aspiring hero, who is thrown into the thick of war between good and evil and is able to overcome tough situations not so much through his swordsmanship, but through the greatness of his heart. If you enjoy high fantasy and want to read a well-written and original story, this book is for you. It is pretty short (around 200 pages), so you will breeze through it in no time. Happy reading!
