The Horse and His Boy

This story is about an orphan boy and a horse that was taken away from they’re homes. Both of them are trying to get back to where they are from; but along the way they come across many difficulties trying to get back to their homeland.

To begin, Shasta is the main character in this story that runs away from his master in search of his real homeland. Narnia is the place where they both originally come from Bree, is the name of the horse that travels with Shasta and is soon to become his friend.

Moreover, Bree is a Great War horse that was kidnapped from his homeland to work as a slave-horse in Calormen, a country across Archenland south of Narnia.

Although, they are from the same place they don’t always get along and on their way to Narnia a princess decides to travel with them on their way back to Narnia.

Furthermore Susan, princess of the Gentle is next in line to become queen but she doesn’t want to marry someone she doesn’t love so she is running away to Narnia to escape to freedom and protection from Rabadash, a Tarkeen prince who wants her hand in marriage.

Rabadash is not happy about Susan the Gentle leaving the South to Narnia so he decides to go after her.

The Tarkeen people are the evil enemies of the Narnians and they will not stop until they destroy the Narnian people. Tisroc is their leader who rules the South and is the father of Rabadash. Tisroc encourages Rabadash to go get Susan and takeover the Narnian land.

Then Rabadash travels to Archenland to take back the princess but he was not thinking about who he would have to face in battle to get Susan. Edmund who is the leader of the war fought off Rabadash and defeated his army of Tarkeenians.

Finally, after the battle was over, Shasta went to King Lune to tell the king about Rabadash’s plan to takeover Narnia. The King turns the enemy prince into a slave himself and once again Narnia is safe from evil.

Introduction of Characters
The main characters are:
· Aslan
· Lucy
· Edmund
· Susan
· Peter
· The White Witch, Jadis

First this story begins in the Magician’s Nephew, in the story there was a boy named Digory who cut down the golden tree and created a wardrobe out of it. This wardrobe was a magical portal that led Lucy, the youngest of the family, to this new world. She tries to tell everyone that there is a new world called Narnia after accidentally discovering it while playing hide and seek with her friends (Susan, Peter, and Edmond).

When you enter this new world, the wardrobe allows some people to enter Narnia but not everybody. Lucy was so excited to tell her friends the news but when they were not able to enter Narnia they did not believe her and they thought she was making it all up.
Lucy cried and ran out the room because everyone was disappointed in her for lying about Narnia but she was not.

Next, Lucy went to the wardrobe the next day to check if Narnia was still there. Edmund went in after her to tease her some more about this secret world only to find out that Narnia is real.
The spiteful Edmund trying to find Lucy bumped into the white witch instead; the white witch is an evil queen of another underground city called Charn in the story, the queen is the last member of that destroyed city because she destroyed it in the Magician’s nephew. (Lucy first noticed the white witch when she came to Narnia she was talking to the faun.)

Mr. Tummuns, is a talking faun, who works for the evil white witch, Mr. Tummum’s job is to take any human to see the white witch so she can hurt them. But Mr. Tummuns is too nice to take her he speaks to her after they bump into each other is asking Lucy if she was the daughter of Eve. They become friends and moved from that to talking about the white witch and how she can remove body parts from one another)

After that Edmund was given Turkish delight by the white witch and her evil dwarf to join her side. This favorite drink with the wicked white witch; means that Edmund is now joining the witch’s side.
Then the white witch makes a deal with Edmund he must bring his three friends to Narnia so that he will become prince or better yet King. Now Edmund gets down from the witch’s sledge to find his friends and Edmund could not find them right away but he finally finds Lucy. They go back home and talk a little but half of the talk was about Narnia .Lucy tried to have proof that the Narnia is real.

Edmund said that they were just playing pretend. Lucy again running out of the room crying Edmund does not really care about it even thought he know it was true. Susan and peter are mad at Edmund he like to be spiteful a lot to people even at school. Now everyone meets back together to take the tour around the house (but you could not touch anything).

Ms. Macready heard noise so Lucy and the others had to hide to keep from being caught by Ms. Macready they hid in the wardrobe and enter the new world (Narnia) they followed Lucy. She leads them to Mr. Tummuns but he was arrested by the white witch for talking to human (Lucy was the human talking to Mr. Tummums.) Edmund told the witch she was talking to a fawn.

The main thing I liked about the book was almost everything some are already on top. And from when the characters first step and the wardrobe was the best part of everything.
The main part I hated was when Aslan died but what made me happy was when Aslan came to life so that was the part sad part about the book.

NOTE: This book is related to Bible because when Jesus was betrayed Judas Jesus was killed and came back to life just like Aslan did in this story.
