"How ever did you learn to talk?" asked Shasta in amazement.
"Where I come from, nearly all the animals talk," replied the
Horse. "The happy land of Narnia." His whinny sounded very
like a sigh.
Bree the horse has been kidnapped from Narnia and longs to return
there. Shasta, on the verge of being sold into slavery, decides to run
away with him in search of the home he's always dreamed of. But the
journey is full of surprises and fraught with dangers, and when the
companions uncover a treasonous plot, it also becomes a race against
time… Clive Staples Lewis, born in 1898, wrote many books for adults
but the Narnia stories were his only works for children. The final
title, The Last Battle, published in 1956, won the Carnegie Award, the
highest mark of excellence in children's literature.
