DescriptionIt's 1924, and New York is the centre of the universe. Henry Smart, on the run from Dublin, falls on his feet. He is a handsome man with a sandwich board, behind which he stashes hooch for the speakeasies of the Lower East Side. He catches the attention of the mobsters who run the district and soon there are eyes on his back and men in the shadows. It is time to leave, for another America: Chicago is wild and new, and newest of all is the music. Furious, wild, happy music played by a man with a trumpet and bleeding lips called Louis Armstrong. His music is everywhere, coming from every open door, every phonograph. But Armstrong is a prisoner of his colour; there are places a black man cannot go, things he cannot do. Armstrong needs a man, a white man, and the man he chooses is Henry Smart.

A great cold salt splash had broken right out of the frame and they were breathless from the smack of it, as well as being wet through.

They are reunited with old friends, the young King Caspian and Reepicheep, the mouse on a voyage of discovery to the End of the World. This was the third book written in The Chronicles of Narnia . It now stands as the fifth book in the series.
