This chapter parallels the beginning of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but the outcome is very different without the Professor around (because character development). Read more
Chapter 8: How They Left the Island
Don’t let that title fool you. They get off the island without any incident whatsoever on the last page or so. This chapter is really about the children convincing Trumpkin that they are who they say they are, and moreover will be of value to his cause. Read more
Chapter 7: Old Narnia in Danger
Caspian is able to get a grand total of one word in before the Council of War is interrupted by the war itself, and things only get worse from there. Read more
Chapter 6: The People That Lived in Hiding

Chapter 2: The Ancient Treasure House
Peter and the others begin to unravel the mystery of the Island. Read more
Chapter 1: The Island
Prince Caspian has never been one of my favorite books in the series, but it’s never been one of my least favorites, either. It introduces one of my favorite characters, but that’s all that really stuck out to me. Read more
Chapter 17: The Hunting of the White Stag
All’s made right as the White Witch is killed and her army defeated. Aslan revives all the people who were turned to stone in the battle, and reminds Lucy of her magical healing cordial so she can tend to the wounded (including Edmund). Read more
