Horse and his boy is my favorite Narnia book.It is the third Narnia book,but most people read Prince Caspian right after The Lion,The Witch,and The Wardrobe. It set when Peter was High King in Narnia and is about a boy (age approx. 13) named Shasta,and he lives in a small fishing hut with Arsheesh,a fisherman,in Calormen,a land north of Narnia.Shasta was found,as a baby,in a small boat by Arsheesh,close to death. The fisherman raises him,though no better than a slave. The story starts with Shasta overhearing Arsheesh talking to a rich stranger about selling him for a slave. Shasta decides to run away with the stranger's horse. Shasta is shocked (and his eyes put saucers to shame) when the horse starts to talk!! He tells Shasta that his name is Bree and he is from Narnia,where almost ALL the animals talk. Bree tells Shasta that he was captured when he was a foal and was forced pretend to be dumb like the other horses.Now was their chance to escape! When all was commenced in the hut and it was silent, Bree and Shasta flee. Their goal is to get to Narnia and the North.
One night, they are chased by lions and they meet into another horse and rider. The rider turns out to be a girl,named Aravis,and she too is running for close to the same reasons. And her horse,named Hwin,talks too!They decide to escape together.Will Shasta,Aravis,Bree,and Whin be able to get to Narnia and the North?? Can they do it?? Read the book,dears.It is sure to put you on the edge of your seat.(At least,that's what I think).Enjoy!!!
