Over a thousand years (Narnian time) after the events in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the children are called to Narnia once more. They find themselves near an old, deserted castle. Narnia is unrecognizable. It is now governed by men who no longer believe in the old creatures or Aslan. Unknown to them, a dictator rules Narnia, one who has driven the old beliefs about Aslan away.
A young Narnian boy named Caspian still believes. He is being educated in the ways of leadership by a half-dwarf named Cornelius. One day, he will become king in place of his uncle, the dictator. Suddenly, everything changes, and he must flee for his life, and a most exciting adventure begins.
This story is about the old beliefs in Aslan that were lost, the creatures who still believe in him, and those who do not, and who seek to destroy the old beliefs forever. Will Caspian, the young prince, survive as war looms?
C.S. Lewis’s imagination is on full display: dancing trees, festive parties, a duel, Narnia bound and unloosed, and a heroic mouse. Leadership, courage, the nature of what is true, happiness, and surprises are woven through this page-turning story.
