Book Summary
Is It Any Good?
Second in the series, though fourth chronologically, PRINCE CASPIAN is an altogether simpler and more straightforward adventure tale than its predecessor, and far simpler than most modern fantasies. Gone, for the most part, is the heavy dose of Christian symbolism, replaced by a hodgepodge of mythological elements, including Bacchus and his Maenads, nature spirits, and a river god. The plain but very literary writing and simplicity of storytelling, combined exciting adventures and a moderate length make this book well-suited to middle-grade readers.

All of the Narnia Books are Amazing
The Narnia books have been my favorites ever since I was a preteen. I have lost myself in their magic multiple times, and now, at the age of 35, I plan on doing it again. I absolutely adore this book and the entire series.
