Plot Summary

The Pevensie children return in Prince Caspian: The Chronicles of Narnia.

The evil King Miraz has just received news. News which seems wonderful to him, and at the same time horrifying to everyone else in Narnia. After much time waiting and hoping, King Miraz's wife has finally borne him a son. This is particularly bad news for his nephew, Prince Caspian, who is the rightful heir to the throne of Narnia. With a son to carry on his own line, Miraz now wishes to do away with Caspian, and establish his ancestral reign over the kingdom. Warned in advance of his impending doom, Prince Caspian makes a daring escape, and when all seems lost, he sounds a magic trumpet which is said to summon help in times of great need.

Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy spent what seemed like a lifetime in Narnia, only to be returned to England mere minutes after they had first entered the wardrobe that fateful rainy day. But while they haven't been the kings and queens of Narnia in a long while, they still have an intimate connection to it. One day, as they are waiting on a train platform, the Pevensie children hear what seems to be the sound of a trumpet in the distance, and the next thing they know, the platform is disappearing from view.

The Pevensies find themselves in another place, and know instantly that they are in Narnia. But where in Narnia, they are not sure at first. It is not until they figure out what the old ruined building in which they are standing actually is that they realize just how much trouble Narnia is in.

Can these children, summoned from a far off world, help Prince Caspian in his plight? Will Narnia once again welcome the high kings and queens of old, even though they are but children? Will good once again triumph over evil? The answers may surprise you.

Clive Staples Lewis, Born in England, was an author, professor, theologian, and Christian apologist. As a professor, Lewis regularly interacted with fellow authors J.R.R. Tolkien and Louis Carroll. Along with his many theological works, Lewis wrote ten children's books - the seven novels which comprise the Chronicles of Narnia, and his Space trilogy.

"Good book. The plot of the book deviates from the original novel but I enjoyed both. I read this book also to my two oldest boys (5 & now 7). As with the other Narnia books this created wonderful discussions about following God and doing what is right."

— Ron (4 out of 5 stars)

Publisher Summary

The unabridged digital audio edition of Prince Caspian, book four in the classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia, narrated by Academy Award-nominated actor Lynn Redgrave.

The Pevensie siblings travel back to Narnia to help a prince denied his rightful throne as he gathers an army in a desperate attempt to rid his land of a false king. But in the end, it is a battle of honor between two men alone that will decide the fate of an entire world.

Prince Caspian is the fourth book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has been captivating readers of all ages with magical lands where animals talk and trees walk for over sixty years. This is a stand-alone novel, but if you would like to journey back to Narnia, read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the fifth book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

    " I did not enjoy this Narnia tale nearly as much as the rest so far. I am rereading them after MANY years. Prince Caspian seems too pieced together or rather not very well connected. Too much background and not enough story? At any rate, not as engaging for me. "

    " A decent book, but the departure from light hearted and happy endings into complex emotional endings is a little odd considering it's a children's series. Though maybe kids were more serious back then. Good read overall, but not astounding. "
