I was surprised when I decided to read the Narnia books and found out that there was nine books! I loved the movies and there’s only three of them lol. So far, out of the three first books, the only one related to the movies this far was the second. I under stand why this book was skipped though, it’s dreadfully boring for like 60% of the book. I did like the ending though, which is why I gave it 3 stars. 

This story is about four souls stolen from their home trying to make it back against all odds and save a kingdom while they at it. It was all possible thanks to Aslan. He was there with them at every step, making sure they were protected and on the right path.

Shasta is a boy living in a fisherman's little hut. He is running a lot of errands such as cleaning the hut, mending the fishing nets etc. Although, Shasta longs to go to the North, to behold the mountains at which he can look from his shabby hut. One day, a man (a queer one, with a tunic and a scimitar) arrives to his hut and wants to buy him from his "father". Although, the man's horse is a Talking Horse of Narnia and persuades Shasta to travel together to Narnia!

A quite good book that is very enjoyable. Also, I think that the Christian allegory still remains. Read it!

'Child,' said the Lion, 'I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own.'
