Ah, lovely! Just the right mixture of humour and seriousness, with spot-on characterisations and a great narrative voice, as evidenced by this paragraph:

He was interrupted by the arrival of an excitedly chattering Reepicheep, who had run ahead of the main group. In many ways he was a very poor scout as he was as likely to attack anything dangerous as to run back to warn the others about it. However, his height gave him two advantages on a mission such as this: he tended to see anything dangerous before it saw him, and he had a rather different perspective on things, being that much closer to the ground.

Thanks for this! I loved it a lot. :-D
