The Chronicles of Narnia , by C.S. Lewis, is one of the very few sets of books that should be read three times: in childhood, early adulthood, and late in life.
When Shasta learns he is not the son of Arsheesh the fisherman, he decides to escape from the cruel land of Calormen. With the talking horse, Bree, he goes north on a fearful journey - past the eerie tombs in the desert and in disguise through the city of Tashbaan - to find Narnia, where the air is sweet and there is freedom, safety and happiness.
