Prince Caspian by CS Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia: Book 4)
Rate and review Prince Caspian! | What does everyone else think?

Narnia's freedom is under threat from the evil King Miraz and in desperation Prince Caspian, the rightful heir to the throne, blows the Great Horn to summon Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy back to Narnia.
CS Lewis had to write a book that followed on from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and provide the same enjoyment and success that it had produced. I think that he achieved this and more, Prince Caspian is an excellent story and can be read either as a stand-alone novel or as as part of the Narnia Chronicles. The line between good and evil is very clear as the children seek to aid Prince Caspian in his battle against his uncle, King Miraz.
Prince Caspian is heir to the throne but his evil uncle Miraz wishes the throne for another. Caspian, aided by his tutor Cornelius must fight against his uncle's tyrannical rule and find help among the talking beasts that are left in Narnia.
Caspain's adventures in the mountains: Prince Caspian
This, for me, is the most enjoyable of the series, providing us with the best characters and the storyline. This will appeal to children and adults alike and is a perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon.

"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.

I think it's a fantabulous story and I appreciate CS Lewis' thought of such a concept. Prince caspian has brought a hope in all our souls that faith can overcome the world; just like Lucy had faith that Aslan exists, that Narnia and the Narnian's exist. I think this book tells us mainly two things, firstly if we have faith, we can overcome anything and everything, and secondly, good always stands over bad. I would give this book a full mark because this book was one of the best books I have ever read. Thank you.
