This is the fourth in C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia" series, which I am greatly enjoying.

This book not only tells the story of Prince Caspian, but also brings a return of the four children from "The Lion, The With, and The Wardrobe," which was a nice surprise. It furthers their stories a lot more than the last book did.

This book includes all kinds of fantasy and adventure and some nice lessons. There's a great deal of treachery and violence at parts but it's tame-ish.

People who like stories featuring young adult heroes, fantasy stories, talking animal stories, travel between worlds, political intrigue, battles, magic, and/or just a good story.

All the parts with Aslan the Lion. Lucy's braveness (bravery doesn't mean that you're not afraid, but you do what's right despite your fear). The wide variety of fantasy creatures and characters. The interesting twists at the end.

The last line... I guess I would have liked a different ending but the plot left room for more adventures with Lucy and Edmond in the future and there are still more books in the series.

Go to bed, which I did. It was nice to finish the book just in time.

Like I was part of the kids' adventures.

"Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.

Pauline Baynes has produced hundreds of wonderful illustrations for the seven books in The Chronicles of Narnia. In 1968 she was awarded the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal for her outstanding contribution to children's literature." From Amazon.

It was a fun read.

I borrowed a copy of this book from my local library.
