The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis The book I read for my report was a fiction book called The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis. This is the third book in the "Chronicles of Narnia" series and was published in 1954. The story is set in the fictional land of Calormen and the fictional land of Narnia. It's about a boy who escapes from his life of slavery and his adventure to come. I found this book adventurous, exciting and suspenseful (to some extent). Show people how courage and faith work together to provide strength in times of need. I enjoyed The Horse and His Boy and it's perfect for anyone who loves fantasy fiction books. This exciting chapter in the Narnie series is suspenseful, adventurous and exciting and teaches the importance of courage and self-confidence. In The Horse and His Boy, a young boy named Shasta runs away from the life he once lived. All his life he was a Calormene slave to a man named Arsheesh, whom he called his father. Shasta escapes from his captivity when he overhears Arsheesh plotting to sell him to a slave trader. To escape, Shasta needs a horse, so he goes to the stable where the slave trader's horse is tied. After stealing the horse, he discovered that this horse was not a normal horse, but rather a talking horse named Bree. They waited for the men to go to bed and then fled. As they traveled they were chased by a lion. While running away from the lion, they come across another horse and rider, who they later discover is a young girl named Aravis, who is also running away, and her talking horse, Hwin. She was running away because she was engaged to a rich old man she didn't love. The four travelers decide to team up and continue their journey together. They travel for a while and then come across the city of Tashbaan. As they venture through the city, Shasta is mistaken for a fugitive prince named Corin and is taken prisoner by the Narnian guards. While in the castle he hears the guards talking about an impending war between Narnia and Calormen and how most of the people are fleeing the nations..
