About this listen

The third in the series of the classic fantasy tales – The Chronicles of Narnia. Read by the unforgettable Sir Michael Hordern.

“Where I come from, nearly all the animals talk,” said the Horse. “The happy land of Narnia.” His whinny sounded very like a sigh.

In The Horse and His Boy, Shasta, a boy on the verge of being sold into slavery, meets Bree, a talking horse who has been kidnapped from Narnia and longs to return there. Together they decide to run away in search of his beloved home. They flee on a wild and dangerous journey through strange cities, eerie tombs and harsh deserts – in search of Narnia, where there is freedom and safety.

Absolutely fantastic story. Great narrating. I just got annoyed occassionally at the high volume of the occassional accompanying music.

Great story!

Fantastic adventure full of profound symbolism, though more subtle than the lion the witch and the wardrobe.
And I still LOVE it as an adult. As Lewis himself said, ”A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest”

My favourite of the Narnian tales

Loved this story even though it was quite differe t from the first two in the series.

The only negative of this recording was the music in the background. It was quite unnecessary and distracting - so loud sometimes that I couldn't hear the actual story. Would purchase a different recording if I ever wanted to listen to the story again.

Fatastic story!

The story was trimmed in places but otherwise was well read with excellent character variation.

Very well read
