The third book in C.S. Lewiss "Chronicles of Narnia" series is titled "The Horse and His Boy." Published in 1954, this book is somewhat separate from the main storyline of the series but still takes place within the world of Narnia.

"The Horse and His Boy" follows the journey of a young boy named Shasta, who was raised as a slave in the land of Calormen. Shasta decides to escape his oppressive life and sets out to travel north, accompanied by a talking horse named Bree, who also desires freedom. The two of them embark on an adventure to Narnia, seeking a better life and leaving behind the harsh life of Calormen.

During their journey, Shasta and Bree meet another pair: Aravis, a young Calormene noblewoman, and her talking mare, Hwin. Aravis is also fleeing her life in Calormen to escape an arranged marriage. The four of them eventually join forces and travel together towards Narnia.

As they journey, they encounter various challenges, dangers, and adventures, including encounters with bandits and crossing treacherous landscapes. Their paths lead them to the city of Tashbaan in Calormen, where they uncover a plot that threatens both Narnia and Archenland, a neighboring country.

The climax of the story takes place during a tense battle, where the characters must make difficult choices and demonstrate their courage and resourcefulness. Ultimately, their actions have far-reaching consequences that influence the fates of both Narnia and Archenland.

"The Horse and His Boy" explores themes of self-discovery, freedom, courage, and the idea that ones origins do not necessarily dictate ones destiny. While it is somewhat separate from the main storyline of the series, it offers a unique perspective on the Narnian world and introduces new characters and cultures that enrich the overall tapestry of the Chronicles of Narnia.
