Shasta is the main character in The Horse and His Boy, my favourite of C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia books. I would love to see it on screen as I think this story has so much scope - adventure, horses, battles, an escape across a desert. Now Netflix will be...

Inktober 2018 #07 – Corlath
Corlath, King of Damar, from The Blue Sword. He and Harry do not always see exactly eye to eye.
