In the imaginary kingdom of Prydain, Princess Eilonwy must leave her friends to go to the Isle of Mona for training as a proper princess.

Eilonwy's loyal friends – Taran, the Assistant Pig-Keeper; Flewddur, the bard; and Prince Rhun, her intended husband – realize her peril and set out on an exciting and terrifying mission to rescue her. They encounter great forces of enil as well as private – sometimes painful – revelations in the course of their journey.
