Taran Wanderer by Lloyd Alexander

Description: Taran has been both Assistant Pig-Keeper and warrior, but his heart is troubled. Who are his parents? Where does he come from? In a quest to learn who he truly is, Taran travels Prydain seeking secrets long buried by time and silence.
Accompanied by his loyal friends, Taran begins his search. Maybe, if his parents are as noble as he hopes, he will deem himself worthy to ask the fair and spunky Princess Eilonwy to be his bride.
But as Taran continues his journey of self-discovery, he realizes that one does not need noble birth to love another, and he returns from his travels with a surer prospect of who he is. But will he discover who is parents are? And will he ever find the courage to ask Eilonwy the question of a lifetime?
