Prince Caspian

After the events of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the children are called to Narnia once again—a Narnia they do not recognize. They find themselves near an old, deserted castle, which seems familiar.

Narnia is ruled by an illegitimate leader who has driven the talking animals and dwarfs into hiding and silenced the old stories about the great Lion Aslan.

However, a young prince named Caspian still believes in the ancient truths. His nurse and, later, a half-dwarf named Cornelius have taught him the old stories and trained him in the ways of princes.

One day, Caspian’s life is in danger, and he flees. An exciting adventure awaits.

Prince Caspian is about the old beliefs in Aslan, those who believe in them, and those who want to destroy them forever. As the story unfolds, a war looms on the horizon. The war will test the beliefs and courage of Caspian and his friends.

Master storyteller C.S. Lewis delights readers with mythic creatures, dangerous journeys, a scary meeting, a duel, and a heroic mouse. Moreover, he gives readers a memorable image of happiness and celebration at the heart of the Bible’s story.

For its positive effect on the imagination and its encouragement to believe and act on what is true, good, and beautiful for the sake of all happiness, I recommend this book to students and parents.
