Prince Caspian
"I think I'll have to go right back to the beginning and tell you how
Caspian grew up in his uncle's court and how he comes to be on our side
at all. But, it'll be a long story."
"All the better," said Lucy. "We love stories."
And so the dwarf Trumpkin tells the children of how young Caspian, raised
as a Telmarine, escaped his uncle Miraz, false King of Narnia, and found
his true calling in leading the Old Narnians in their fight for freedom.
While in their own land of England waiting
for a train that will bring them back to school, Peter, Susan, Edmund,
and Lucy are suddenly pulled into Narnia by a distress call from Prince
Caspian. It has been hundred of years since the time described in The Lion,
the Witch and the Wardrobe, when the children reigned over the land as
benevolent Kings and Queens. Now most of the Talking Beasts and enchanted
creatures who once lived there in peace have been killed or frightened
into hiding by the cruel Telmarine rule. Only Caspian and the rulers of
Old Narnia, with the help of the great Aslan, can liberate Narnia and make
it safe for its rightful inhabitants.
C.S. Lewis' fourth book in The Chronicles
of Narnia once again brings us into his timeless world of magical creatures,
miraculous events, and noble battles against evil.
