I think it is good for all ages. GOOD STUFF!!! ( )More religious allusions, this time retelling the story of Moses via a peasant boy and his talking horse. This book takes place near the end of Wardrobe, was written prior to The Silver Chair, but published afterward, so as to not break up the Caspian books. Definitely worth reading by any fan of Lewis or Narnia. In this book, the third book of the Chronicles of Narnia, a journey takes place in a land south of Narnia called Calormen. A boy named Shasta is sold by his mean father to a nobleman of Calormen. The boy meets a talking horse which is strange because here animals do not talk yet, as they did in Narnia. Additionally, the horse is from Narnia and he was taken from there by evil nobleman who bought Shasta. The boy calls the horse Bree and the two run away together and eventually meet another young girl who has run away named Aravis. The fifth book in the Narnia chronicles is a nice little adventure, but since it doesn't deal with the connection between our world and Narnia, it feels a bit insignificant. There is a parallel, though: A boy and a girl escape to Narnia from the not-fun-at-all southern neighbor Kalormen. Aslan's role is increasingly godlike, laying down axiomatic moral judgments. My favorite of the Narnia Series. no reviews | add a review
