The Horse and His Boy
Illustrated by Pauline Baynes
About the Author
CLIVE STAPLES LEWIS, known as Jack to his friends, was born in 1898. Lewis and his good friend J. R. R. Tolkien, the author of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, were part of the Inklings, an informal writers’ club that met at a local pub to discuss story ideas. Lewis’s fascination with fairy tales, myths and ancient legends, coupled with inspiration drawn from his childhood, led him to write THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, one of the best-loved books of all time. Six further books followed to become the immensely popular Chronicles of Narnia. The final title in the series, THE LAST BATTLE, was awarded the Carnegie Medal, one of the highest marks of excellence in children’s literature.

Next morning, while the Hermit was indoors, the three of them discussed what they should do next.
“I’ve had enough of this,” said Hwin. “The Hermit has been very good to us and I’m very much obliged to him I’m sure. But I’m getting as fat as a pet pony, eating all day and getting no exercise. Let’s go on to Narnia.”
“Oh not today, Ma’am,” said Bree. “I wouldn’t hurry things. Some other day, don’t you think?”
“We must see Shasta first and say good-bye to him—and—and apologize,” said Aravis.
“Exactly!” said Bree with great enthusiasm. “Just what I was going to say.”
“Oh, of course,” said Hwin. “I expect he is in Anvard. Naturally we’d look in on him and say good-bye. But that’s on our way. And why shouldn’t we start at once? After all, I thought it was Narnia we all wanted to get to?”
“I suppose so,” said Aravis. She was beginning to wonder what exactly she would do when she got there and was feeling a little lonely.
“Of course, of course,” said Bree hastily. “But there’s no need to rush things, if you know what I mean.”
“No, I don’t know what you mean,” said Hwin. “Why don’t you want to go?”
“M-m-m, broo-hoo,” muttered Bree. “Well, don’t you see, Ma’am—it’s an important oc ............
