The Horse and His Boy

By C.S. Lewis.

The boys and I have just finished for our bed-time story book one of my favourite Narnia tales.

Who could resist a run away from home story like this? Especially if you're a boy. Just look at it. Not only does our hero Shasta discover he's got a talking horse, he gets to team up with a pretty and feisty girl (my boys are at the we still like girls stage, not ew, girl-germs stage) and find out not only that he has a twin brother, but that he's a prince for heaven's sake! His long-lost Daddy is the king. What more could a boy want?!!!

Lovely stuff.

On to The Last Battle...
