Description
A beautiful hardcover edition of C. S. Lewis's Prince Caspian, book four in the classic fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia. The full-color jacket features art from three-time Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator David Wiesner and interior black-and-white artwork by the series' original illustrator, Pauline Baynes.
The Pevensie siblings travel back to Narnia to help a prince denied his rightful throne as he gathers an army in a desperate attempt to rid his land of a false king. But in the end, it is a battle of honor between two men alone that will decide the fate of an entire world.
A battle is about to begin in Prince Caspian, the fourth book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has been enchanting readers of all ages for over sixty years. This is a stand-alone novel, but if you would like to see more of Lucy and Edmund's adventures, read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the fifth book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

These classic fantasy series feature epic struggles between good and evil, meaningful relationships between protagonists, thoughtful examinations of how we should treat others, and sensitive depictions of children and teens growing up through trials of adversity. -- Derek Keyser
Readers will be absorbed by these whimsical fantasies about ordinary children venturing into magical worlds. While the Wildwood Chronicles are more modern and morally complex than the classic Narnia books, both series feature talking animals, epic conflicts, and memorable villains. -- Rebecca Honeycutt

Spellbinding worlds lie just beneath the surface of the ordinary in these series filled with suspense, skilled world-building, and mythical creatures. While Narnia's characters access another realm through a door, dyspraxic Ramya detects hidden worlds via magical sight in Charm. -- Basia Wilson
Though Chronicles of Narnia is told entirely in prose and Mihi Ever After also includes cartoony illustrations, both of these compelling gateway fantasy stories follow tweens who discover a secret world filled with adventure and danger. -- Stephen Ashley

Both are British authors who write insightful, eloquent, and accessible books defending traditional Christian beliefs and explaining how they fit into ordinary lives. Their spiritual treatises also contain some of the whimsy and imagination found in their fiction, though C. S. Lewis' approach is gentler and less combative. -- Derek Keyser
Though Harold Kushner is Jewish and C.S. Lewis is Christian, both write accessible books on spiritual life and pastoral problems -- especially problems of grief and pain -- that are intended for people of faith for whom the Bible contains the story of human salvation. -- Katherine Johnson
These Christian authors were also pioneering writers in the field of fantasy; George MacDonald was known to be a mentor to and influence on C.S. Lewis, so fans of one would likely appreciate the novels of the other. -- Shauna Griffin
Both authors write thought-provoking explorations of Christian faith with an emphasis on developing a personal relationship with God and making sense of complicated theology. C.S. Lewis also writes fantasy and science fiction; Jeff Chu is primarily a nonfiction writer. -- CJ Connor
