The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
4.0

This is the story of an epic adventure starring a young Assistant Pig-Keeper, Taran. Despite the fact that he was given this job and title to distract him from his dreams of being a hero, it is the pig, Hen Wen, who leads him directly into the path of the fearsome Horned King. There are a number of interesting characters to assist Taran in his journey and growth in self-awareness. Very enjoyable.
