Prince Caspian – Review

After the events of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the children are called to Narnia again—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 a glimmer of hope.

Fair Use

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

Suddenly, everything changes. He must flee for his life, and an exciting adventure begins.

Prince Caspian is about the old beliefs in Aslan, the creatures who believe, and those who want 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 violent duel, and a heroic mouse. Leadership, courage, and surprises are woven through this page-turning story.

Strongly recommended for teenagers. Lewis entertainingly and delightfully makes sense of life’s ultimate questions about freedom and happiness.
