Taran Wanderer
Book 4 of the The Chronicles of Prydain series
Uncertain of his parentage and his place in Prydain, Taran leaves his companions to search for his identity. Encounters with farmers, craftsmen, shepherds, and rulers teach him that worth is built through character and work rather than inherited rank. The journey offers fewer grand battles but deeper tests of judgment and humility. Reflective and quietly moving, this coming-of-age fantasy is ideal for an autumn afternoon and readers drawn to vocation, identity, and earned wisdom.
