Abstract:
Princess Eilonwy hates to leave her friend Taran, Assistant Pig-Keeper, and her beloved home. Why does she have to go to the Isle of Mona to train as a proper lady when she's already a princess? But Eilonwy soon faces more than the ordeal of becoming a dignified young maiden, for she possesses magical powers sought by the evil enchantress Queen Achren. When Eilonwy is put under a deep spell, Taran and his companions must embark on a dangerous quest to rescue her.
