By Aslan’s mane, this last year has felt like 1,000 Narnian years! Now let’s return to C. S. Lewis’s magical land, ruled by Telmarine tyranny, in our next book quest for Prince Caspian.

  • What happens centuries after a fairyland’s golden age?
  • Why does divine restoration never happen the same way twice?
  • How could pagan figures, hedonism, and even gods celebrate a Christ-figure?

We’ll begin Monday, Jan. 9, and spend three weeks in the second Chronicle’s fifteen chapters:

Story description

Narnia has been at peace since Peter, Susan, Lucy and Edmund helped rid the kingdom of the evil White Witch. But the Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Eve have returned to their own world and a dark presence now rules this once harmonious land

Wicked King Miraz has imposed a pernicious new order of persecution and imprisonment, but the King’s nephew and rightful heir, young Prince Caspian, realizing the evil of his uncle’s regime, vows to revive Narnia’s glorious past. Fearing for his life, he is forced to flee and calls on the four children, the magic of the mighty lion Aslan, and an army of fauns, dwarfs and woodland spirits to help him in his seemingly impossible task.

Book 2 in The Chronicles of Narnia series.

Review of Prince Caspian

Pacing starts slow but creature lore grows in C. S. Lewis’s sequel, introducing practical tyrants and talking-beast politics into a Narnian resistance.
· January 2023

Like the first Chronicle of Narnia, Prince Caspian opens quickly. An unknown magical force draws Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie off a train platform and back to the magical land they once ruled as kings and queens. But things never happen the same way twice. Soon the children learn Aslan has not called them to regain their thrones, but to fight another enemy and crown a new king. Pacing starts slow but creature lore grows in C. S. Lewis’s sequel, introducing practical tyrants and talking-beast politics into a Narnian resistance. Some newcomers may struggle with Caspian’s nonlinear plotting. Older or returning readers, however, will find that every year they grow older, they will find this return to Narnia a little bigger.1

Best for: Fans eight and up for personal reading, slightly younger for reading aloud.

Discern: Wicked king forces boy prince into exile, beasts debate themes of human ancestry, mythical creatures include lowercase-G “gods” and discuss prophecies in the stars, wicked beings attempt black sorcery to call back a dead enemy but are rebuked, several battles include summarized violence and at least one beheading.
