Rating 9.0/10

The best of all the Narnia books.

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.

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.
