David McK (3425 KP) rated Prince Caspian (Chronicles of Narnia, #2) in Books

Recently, I've been re-working my way through the Narnia books, going by order of setting.
With that in mind, this is the fourth in the series (while it may only have been the second published) and sees the Pevensie children returning to the magical Land of Narnia - a land in which, it is discovered, centuries have passed despite only a year passing in 'our' world and in which Narnia itself has since been conquered.
The Prince Caspian of the title is now the rightful heir to the throne, but is on the run from and at war with his uncle, who wants to kill him now that he has his own heir. Following defeat, in desperation Caspian blows Susan's magical horn which summons her (and Peter, and Lucy, and Edmund) back to the land, just in time to aid him ...
As before, it's pretty easy to see the Christian allegory in this (particularly in the passages where nobody except Lucy can see Aslan), but again: so what?
