Cover synopsis: A boy named Shasta discovers he is not the son of a Calormene fisherman and decides to run far away to the North -- to Narnia. When he is mistaken for another runaway, Shasta is led to discover who he really is and even finds his real father.
This is the 3rd book in the Narnia series, but it happens before the 2nd book (The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe) ends. And as much as I liked that better-known classic, I think I liked this book just a tad more!
Nail-biting adventure, mystery, mistaken identities, thrilling chases through exotic locales -- The Horse and His Boy was a treat for the imagination.
