Aslan, the great lion, was on the move. But would Peter, Susan, Lucy and Edmund follow him, even though Aslan’s way seemed impossible? Or would they follow their own path in their perilous journey to aid Prince Caspian in his quest to free Narnia from the devious King Miraz?

Prince Caspian—the fourth book in C. S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia—was originally called Drawn into Narnia, because Lewis liked the idea of the main characters being pulled or summoned into another world for reasons unknown to them. The idea finds its parallel in how people are often called by faith into circumstances and service without knowing the outcome.

Lewis explored the theme further by making Prince Caspian’s heroes and heroines the same four children from his earlier The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. But upon their arrival, they realize this is not the Narnia they once knew. Something has gone terribly wrong. They wind up lost and hungry. Then, when they meet a peculiar dwarf, they are caught up in an adventure that would try the faith of even the most steadfast adults.
