Very special, somewhat mystic fantasy, this is a sequel to last
year's The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by the English author of
the ?? Letters Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are unexpectedly
pulled back from an English railroad station to Narnia, the
wonderful land out of our own time where animals and trees talk,
and where the children had last reigned as kings and queens.
However, many Narnian years have past, and Kings Peter and Edmund,
Queens Susan and Lucy find themselves with the great lion, Aslan,
part of legend in a land where a cruel set of humans have taken
over, where the talking animals, dwarfs, nymphs, satyrs and other
Old Narnians are in hiding. It becomes the children's duty,
following Aslan, to bring back the long-ago glory by aiding young
Prince Caspian to gain the throne. Like many of Thurber's fables,
this tempts adults to read on two levels, but for imaginative
children, this is rich fairy-tale fare. More coordinated in
construction, we think, than the preceding book. (Kirkus Reviews)

"Look sharp!" shouted Edmund. "All catch hands and keep together. This is magic – I can tell by the feeling. Quick!"
The evil king Miraz and his army can only mean trouble for Narnia, and Prince Caspian, rightful heir to the throne, fears for the future of his country. He blows the Great Horn in desperation, summoning Peter, Susan, Edmund and :Lucy to help with his difficult task – that of saving Narnia before its freedom is lost forever.
