 What is the age of Shasta in The Horse and His Boy?

The exact age of Shasta in The Horse and His Boy is never explicitly stated in the novel. However, clues throughout the story suggest he is around 14 years old.

Here's why:

Shasta's behavior: The book portrays Shasta as a young boy, but not a small child. He is capable of taking care of himself, riding a horse, and making complex decisions. This suggests he's past the very early years of childhood.

Arsheesh's comment: Arsheesh, the fisherman who raised Shasta, mentions finding him as a baby in the same year the Tisroc (Calor men's emperor) came to power.

Timeline: The Horse and His Boy takes place during the reign of the Pevensie siblings in Narnia, which according to the series' internal chronology, is roughly 14 years after the events of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
