The Horse and His Boy: The Chronicles of Narnia
Overview & Summary
Set during the reign of the Pevensie children as kings and queens of Narnia, this installment follows Shasta, a boy fleeing enslavement in the southern land of Calormen, and Bree, a talking Narnian horse who has been held captive there for years. Together with a runaway Calormene noblewoman and her own talking horse, they race north to warn Narnia of an impending invasion, uncovering secrets about Shasta's true identity along the way. C. S. Lewis's entry in the Chronicles of Narnia stands somewhat apart from the others in its Arabian Nights-inspired setting.
