About this listen
Following on from The Magician’s Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, this is a classic fantasy adventure from The Chronicles of Narnia.
Desperate to escape a harsh and narrow regime, two runaways unwittingly flee headlong into the centre of a terrible battle. This first sequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe includes all the hallmarks of its famous predecessor, though this time the fate of Narnia is wound up in the lives of its own children – and a talking horse!

"The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this." This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation.

When a novel like Huckleberry Finn or The Yearling comes along, it defies customary adjectives because of the intensity of the response it evokes in the reader. Such a tale is Old Yeller; to listen to this eloquently simply story of a boy and his dog in the Texas hill country is an unforgettable and deeply moving experience.

A humourous tale of bravery
Would you consider the audio edition of The Horse and His Boy: The Chronicles of Narnia, Book 5 to be better than the print version?
The print is better with the illustrations by Pauline Baynes, but the audiobook is great to listen along with while reading.
Which character – as performed by Alex Jennings – was your favorite?
Bree the horse was my favourite character as he had to overcome his cowardice in a time of danger to help Shasta deliver his message. Alex Jennings did a great job with all the character voices.
Any additional comments?

The Importance of Being Human
Would you listen to The Horse and His Boy again? Why?
As I love 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and this is part of them, I would always read it in its place in the series. It is not my favourite book in the Chronicles, but it is an important part.
If you’ve listened to books by C.S. Lewis before, how does this one compare?
My comment above really covers this question. I think it is important to read the Chronicles in the order in which the events happen in Narnia, so this book cannot be skipped.
One thing I enjoyed was having a different reader for each of the 7 books. For me that added a lot of interest and quality.
Have you listened to any of Alex Jennings’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't heard Alex Jennings narrate anything else.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
This would have to be the moment when Shasta/Cor and his father are reunited.
Any additional comments?
The book keeps the story of Narnia alive and moves it onward. Read/listen to it.
