Taran, a lowly assistant pig-keeper, runs after an oracular pig and into a magical adventure. The plot is tropey—it may have laid the foundation for many of the tropes it depicts—but fast paced, and so cute that I might just have to read the next four books.
“Most of us are called on to perform tasks far beyond what we can do. Our capabilities seldom match our aspirations, and we are often woefully unprepared. To this extent, we are all Assistant Pig-Keepers at heart” (iii)
