Summary and Study Guide
Overview
Prince Caspian is a young adult fantasy adventure novel by British author C. S. Lewis. Published in 1951, the novel was Lewis’s second addition to the popular Chronicles of Narnia series. In this story, the Pevensie children suddenly return to Narnia, where hundreds of years have passed since they defeated the evil White Witch and reigned as kings and queens at Cair Paravel. The children now confront the new challenge of helping their ally Prince Caspian defeat his cruel and tyrannical uncle, King Miraz, and establish a new peace in Narnia. Through his complex human and animal characters, Lewis explores themes of The Process of Sin, Forgiveness, and Redemption, The Triumph of Faith and Courage, Spirituality and Humanity’s Relationship to Nature, and the abuse of power. This book was made into a film in 2008, with actor Ben Barnes starring as Prince Caspian.
