THE HORSE AND HIS BOY

CS LEWIS

Well we just finished The Horse and His Boy in the Narnia Series.  I LOVED it!  Of couse what Narnia book don't we like, right?  We listened to this on audio CD, which was just so great-we had it in the car and just couldn't wait to go somewhere so we could listen to what was going to happen next.  Audio books are such a great way to get some of those classics in that you just don't have time for.  My husband enjoyed this so much that he decided we should have a couple of nights that we listen to a great book together as a family, like the old days of sitting around listening to the radio because its all people had.  I bet so many memories were made that way!  We want to start Prince Caspian so we can go see the movie!

I found this book a little harder to understand at first, I tried to play this for my son quite awhile ago and he just didn't seem to be getting any of it so I took it back to the library and we tried again recently.  It made all the difference!  I think its slower to get into at first unlike the two before it but once it gets moving I think its quite thrilling.  I loved the characters in it, Shasta  (slave boy)and Avavis(runaway girl) and the talking horses from Narnia.  They brought so much to the story, learning about each ones background and past and why getting to Narnia was so important for each of them.  There are many suprises in the story which I won't reveal in case you haven't read this one yet.  There are also some exciting battles and many other characters they meet along the way that add so much to the story.  And of course no Narnia story would be complete without Aslan himself, just like in the others, some great parallels to Christ.  I love when Bree the talking horse just can't believe that Aslan is really a lion and Aslan is telling him, "Touch Me. Smell Me. Here are my paws, here is my tail, these are my whiskers.  I am a true Beast."  It was like hearing the story of doubting Thomas! 

The owners of Sonlight say this is their favorite in the Narnia series, you don't hear much about this book compared to the others and there may never be a great Motion Picture of it but in my opinion there should be.  This is an excellent story, make sure if your reading Narnia-you don't miss it!
