NARNIA

Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia is a novel for children by C. S. Lewis, written in late 1949 and first published in 1951. It is the second-published book in theChronicles of Narnia series, although in the overall chronological sequence it comes fourth.

1,300 Narnian years after the events in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan and the Pevensie children have become near-forgotten myths. Narnia is now ruled by Telmarines, humans who have settled in Narnia. The Telmarines fear native Narnians and their magic, and seek to exterminate them. Miraz, the king of the Telmarines, has usurped his brother's throne and determines to do away with his nephew, Prince Caspian, the rightful heir. He refused to accept that "old Narnians" ever existed, and forbids talk of them at his castle.

Caspian escapes into the forest, where Narnians offer him help and shelter, but his escape is soon detected and Miraz's soldiers soon encounter the Old Narnians, sparking a fierce battle. The Pevensies, recalled into Narnia when Caspian in desperation winds Susan's magical horn, are shown the right way to Caspian by Aslan, and find their faith tested as Aslan does not appear to them until they really try to see him.

Aslan's How, a mound on the site of the Stone Table, serves as the gathering point for loyal Narnians, where Prince Caspian forms his army to fight against his uncle for Narnia. Meanwhile, Aslan re-awakens the spirits of the forest and the river, leading a Bacchanalian revel through the oppressed towns and fomenting a popular revolution.

When the Telmarines are defeated and the Old Order is restored, Aslan creates a door in the air allowing the children (and the Telmarines who did not want to live in a renewed Narnia where animals and humans had equality) to return to Earth. He tells Peter and Susan that they are now too old to return to Narnia, having learned all they can from their experiences there. However, he tells Edmund and Lucy that they may return to Narnia.
