Fabulous fantasy tale of Shasta and his talking horse Bree. This is a tale of mistaken identity, a fabulous battle, duplicity and lies, courage and despair. It ranges from the desert to the mountains, across 3 countries.

The story is simple, moves at a fast pace and never lacks for adventure, surprise or the unexpected. Below are some of the great characters, illustrated by Pauline Baynes;
