This is the third novel in The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, following The Magician's Nephew and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, if you go by the time-line of the stories.
This Narnia book is more of a side-story than a continuation of the main story. It takes place in the fictional world where the other stories are set, though most of it occurs in two kingdoms neighboring Narnia: Calormen and Archenland. The Pevensie children, now adults in Narnian time, do play ... Read More

Fifth book printed, third book chronologically.
I began re-reading the Narnia series after coming across a beautiful boxed set of all seven novels. Mainly this was out of nostalgia, as these were favourites when I was young, and I was interested to see how they held up as adults. I found them all to be written very clearly with provocative descriptive prose, and narrative that often draws the reader immediately into the story.
"The Horse and His Boy" stands out from ... Read More
