About this listen

Following on from The Magician’s Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, this is a classic fantasy adventure from The Chronicles of Narnia.

Desperate to escape a harsh and narrow regime, two runaways unwittingly flee headlong into the centre of a terrible battle. This first sequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe includes all the hallmarks of its famous predecessor, though this time the fate of Narnia is wound up in the lives of its own children – and a talking horse!

Horse and his Boy My favourite CS Lewis book

AS always great story and adventure of Narnian tales. All are standalone stories or can be read in conjunction with the rest in the series. Very easy read. I prefer the audio books as I usually listen whilst travelling and cannot read and travel whatever vehicle I travel in, usually by train.

delighted

very unique, good description, and the narrator really brings the story to life. I feel as if I were actually there, at the scene, watching and observing. Overall, I give it 5/5. It's definitely worth the money or credits.

Excellent narration - please lose the music

I couldn’t fathom why music was briefly inserted between some of the chapters. Added nothing and a distraction when listening to as sleep beckons.

Other than that, excellent narration and a wonderful story.

Probably enjoyed more by its target audience

Find myself agreeing with other reviewers . It is Alex Jennings masterly reading that makes this story so satisfying. Had I read this as a much younger person I would have loved it. For me it was too predictable and lacked the passion of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe . For all that I did enjoy it and appreciate the way that Lewis addressed his readership.
