Fun Trivia
Although this was the fifth book written in the "Chronicles of Narnia", it is often listed as the third, since that is where it fits chronologically into the history of Narnia. This is the only book in the series set entirely in Narnia, and featuring Narnian children as the central characters. Shasta and the talking horse Bree meet up with Aravis and her talking horse, Hwin, as they flee CAlormen seeking a better life in Archenland.
