About this title

From the Inside Flap:

When Shasta discovers he is not Arsheesh's son and therefore does not belong in the cruel land of Calormen, he joins forces with Bree the talking horse and flees north towards Narnia, where freedom reigns.

And so begins their hazardous journey, fraught with mystery and danger. Calormen's capital city of Tashbaan must be crossed, a harsh desert endured, the high mountains of Archenland climbed, their enemies overcome. For the young Shasta it is an adventure beyond his wildest dreams and one destined to change his life forever.

This acclaimed BBC Radio dramatization perfectly captures C.S. Lewis' magical world, inviting us to "breathe" the sweet air of Narnia once again and to join the mighty Aslan and his people in defending its most precious borders.

From the Back Cover:

Narnia ... where horses talk ... where treachery is brewing ... where destiny awaits

On a desperate journey, two runaways join forces looking to escape their harsh and narrow lives. Soon they are at the center of a terrible battle—that will decide their fate and the fate of Narnia. Read by Anthony Quayle.
