En bref

Shasta grows up by the sea in the south of Calormen, with a harsh fisherman named Arsheesh, whom he believes to be his father. He is fair-haired and pale among a dark-skinned people. He dreams of the North, about which he knows nothing. One evening, he overhears Arsheesh negotiating his sale to a passing nobleman. The nobleman’s horse then starts talking to him… The Horse and His Boy is the story of their flight to Narnia.

« The lion was me. »

I was the lion.

— Aslan to Shasta, The Horse and His Boy, ch. 11

Trivia

  • The Horse and His Boy is the only book in The Chronicles of Narnia whose action takes place entirely during the Pevensies’ Golden Age.
  • The title is a humorous nod to the fact that it is the horse who thinks he has an ecuyer (a squire).

The story

The Horse and His Boy

Shasta learns that he was found as a baby in a boat. He flees with Bree, a talking horse from Narnia who was captured as a foal. Along the way, they meet Aravis, a young Calormene noblewoman, and her mare Hwin. In Tashbaan, Shasta is mistaken for Prince Corin of Archenland by the Narnian delegation, which leads him to discover a plot by Prince Rabadash against Archenland. He spends a terrifying night alone near the tombs of the ancient kings, comforted by a mysterious cat. He crosses the desert, then races, exhausted, to warn King Lune. In the night and fog, a great presence walks beside him : Aslan. He then understands that all the lions in his journey—the ones who frightened, protected, or pushed him—were one and the same Lion. It is revealed that he is Cor, the elder twin of Corin, kidnapped at birth to thwart a prophecy : he was destined one day to save Archenland. And that is what he did. Later, he marries Aravis and rules over Archenland. Their son, Ram the Great, will become the most famous king of the land.

Shasta (Prince and King Cor)

It is an orphan boy who escapes the grip of the evil Tarkaan and flees to Narnia on his talking horse named Bree. In addition to many adventures, including helping to save Narnia, Shasta discovers his true identity : he is Prince Cor, elder brother of Prince Corin and the eldest son of King Lune of Archenland. He was kidnapped as a child, and it is only now, in *The Horse and His Boy*, that he is reunited with his family.

Cor appears again as King of Archenland with his wife Aravis at the end of *The Last Battle*.
