While this is set during the reign of High King Peter, the Pevensies are not the central characters to this tale. This is a child's fantasy at its best--talking horses, the wicked step-parent, the "fairy godmother" character...how I missed this as a child I will never know, but it was very enjoyable as an adult.

Some things are ageless, like the love/hate relationship between Shasta and Aravis. Even in this age of video games, young children would probably love this tale, especially if it is read with them by a parent or grandparent.
