When someone said that the boy Shasta had probably stolen the horse he was riding, the horse replied, "If there's been any stealing, you might just as well say I stole him". This ancient story, which takes us right back to the reign of the High King Peter, tells how the Boy and his Horse together escaped from the cruel country of Calormen, through the city of Tashbaan, across the desert, into Archenland, over the mountains, and so at last (with the help of Aslan) to Narnia itself.
