Prince Caspian

After the events of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the children are once again called to Narnia—a Narnia that is unrecognizable. They find themselves near an old, deserted castle. A dictator rules Narnia, who has driven the talking animals and dwarfs into hiding, and the old beliefs in Aslan away. But there’s hope.

Fair Use

A young prince named Caspian still believes in the ancient truths of Narnia. His nurse taught him the old stories, and later, a half-dwarf named Cornelius added to his knowledge of old Narnia and taught him the ways of leadership.

Suddenly, everything changes, and his life is in danger. He must flee, but unknown to him, an exciting adventure awaits.

Prince Caspian is about the old beliefs in Aslan, those who believe, and those who want to destroy those beliefs forever. A war looms. One that will test the courage of Caspian and his friends.

C.S. Lewis’s imagination is on full display: dancing trees, festive parties, a violent duel, and a heroic mouse. Surprises are woven through this page-turning story.

I strongly recommend this book to students. Lewis, philosopher and literature scholar, shows the way to the most profound truths about courage, happiness, and freedom.
