Plot Summary: The characters of C.S. Lewis' timeless fantasy come to life
once again in this newest installment of the "Chronicles of Narnia" series, in
which the Pevensie siblings are magically transported back from England to the
world of Narnia, where a thrilling, perilous new adventure and an even greater
test of their faith and courage awaits them.
One year after the incredible events of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,"
the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous
realm, only to discover that more than 1300 years have passed in Narnian time.
During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct, Narnia has
been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King
Miraz, who rules the land without mercy.
The four children will soon meet an intriguing new character: Narnia's rightful
heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding as
his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the
throne.
