This enthralling adaptation of one of C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia blends drama, fantasy and humour. To escape the clutches of the evil warlord Rabadash, the horse, Bree and the boy, Shasta, run away together from the cruel land of Calormen. When they discover that Rabadash has plans to invade Narnia and neighbouring Archenland, they race ahead to warn the people of Narnia. The play can be very simply staged.
I liked this book; it was a lot better in the context of the series than it is as an individual book. There was a lot of running to somewhere or from someone/something and not a whole lot of story. But the story that was there did not disappoint. I look forward to the next book!
