THE CASTLE OF LLYR by Lloyd Alexander

Castle of Llyr is a very interesting novel about a Princess named Eilonwy of the Royal house of Llyr. She was sent to the Island of Mona to begin her proper royal education. As Eilonwy reached the Island of Mona, she was welcomed by King Rhuddlum and Queen Teleria of Island of Mona. When Taran met the shoemaker of the royal house, the shoemaker spills his beans. The Princess Eilonwy is in danger. Mysteriously one day the Princess disappears from the royal house of Mona, and Taran’s adventurous mission begins to rescue Princess Eilonwy. My favorite part in this book is when Taran saw a giant creature called Glew on his mission. Glew was not at all harmful to Taran but he showed one cave to Taran to find his Princess. Glew also informed Taran about Caer Colour, the secret place which would help Taran to complete his mission. Will Taran be successful in his mission?
