As the sun gently bathed my cozy garden with its golden rays, I embarked on a captivating journey through The Horse and His Boy audiobook by C. S. Lewis. Nestled in my favorite hammock, surrounded by the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the soothing chirping of birds, I was transported to the enchanting world of Narnia.

His chance encounter with Bree, a talking horse from the north, sets off a thrilling escape that leads them to join forces with Aravis and her own talking steed, Hwin. Together, they navigate treacherous plots and epic battles as they race against time to save their beloved nations.

What struck me most about this tale was the deep sense of camaraderie and courage displayed by the characters. Shasta’s journey from a humble upbringing to discovering his true identity resonated deeply with me.
