Prince Caspian (Chronicles of Narnia, Book 4) [BBC Radio Presents, 2 audiocassettes, full-cast drama] Review
In this the fourth book in the Chronicles of Narnia, the four children from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe return to the magical land of Narnia to find things greatly changed from the way they left them. A young king is on the run from his uncle who seeks to usurp the throne and the four children, who are kings and queens of Narnia themselves must battle a new foe and restore Old Narnia. The Christian allegory is quite strong in this book as it is with others. I found it a joy myself to return to Narnia after some time away. The new characters are quite fun. This story is better than the book previous (A Horse and His Boy) with good action and progresses the history of Narnia. I enjoyed this one enough to jump straight into the next one, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I was reading the Kindle version and was very pleased to see that the illustrations were included and of good quality. Recommended.
Prince Caspian (Chronicles of Narnia, Book 4) [BBC Radio Presents, 2 audiocassettes, full-cast drama] Overview
Narnia has been at peace since Peter, Susan, Lucy and Edmund helped rid the kingdom of the evil White Witch. But the Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Eve have returned to their own world and a dark presence now rules this once harmonious land...
Wicked King Miraz has imposed a pernicious new order of persecution and imprisonment, but the King's nephew and rightful heir, young Prince Caspian, realizing the evil of his uncle's regime, vows to revive Narnia's glorious past. Fearing for his life, he is forced to flee and calls on the four children, the magic of the mighty lion Aslan, and an army of fauns, dwarfs and woodland spirits to help him in his seemingly impossible task.
This acclaimed BBC Radio dramatization perfectly captures C.S. Lewis' magical world as Aslan and his human friends take up the challenge to win back the freedom and happiness which is the essence of Narnia.

Prince Caspian - Francine Canin -
This book was purchased as part of a grant fulfillment by Kappa Delta Pi-Eta Theta Chapter of Brooklyn College. This book was included in our annual read-aloud and book give-away at Sesame Flyers in Brooklyn. The children were thrilled with the books!
A favorite childhood adventure novel - TCO - USA
There is a lot made of the Christian allegory by some of the reviewers. And sure, it is there. But this is a book that can (was) enjoyed by a child ignorant of the parallels to Christ. The moral themes of fair play and the like come through regardless. And the adventure is rousing.
The edition shown here is nice in that it is a bit more durable and this is a book that will be reread. In addition, the original illustrations are great. So, if you are willing to spend a little more buy this one. But if that's an objection, just buy any edition (used books are fine) or even get it from the library. And have your kids read it!
