THE HORSE AND HIS BOY a fitting follow-up to TRUMPETS’ much-acclaimed
musical adaptation of C. S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, is based on one of Lewis’ books from The Chronicles of Narnia.

THE HORSE AND HIS BOY is the tale of an orphan boy, Shasta, and a talking horse, Bree, as they journey towards freedom from oppression and slavery. They fly from a foreign land to Narnia, the place the horse calls home, and where the boy hopes to find who he is and where he truly belongs.

Along the way, they are joined by a young noblewoman, Aravis, and a talking mare, Hwin, who both share their desire for freedom. Together they embark on a grand adventure through deserts and mountains, risk near capture, encounter danger, face the unknown, take part in a battle and, finally, find themselves and their destined place in the sun.

Reconnect with beloved characters from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - the grown-ups Susan, Edmund and Lucy now reigning monarchs of Narnia, the faun Tumnus, and of course, the Great Lion, Aslan - and meet many new colorful and fascinating characters.
