"Look sharp!" shouted Edmund. "All catch hands and keep
together. This is magic - I can tell by the feeling. Quick!"
The evil king Miraz and his army can only mean trouble for Narnia, and
Prince Caspian, rightful heir to the throne, fears for the future of his
country. He blows the Great Horn in desperation, summoning Peter, Susan,
Edmund and Lucy to help with his difficult task - that of saving Narnia
before its freedom is lost forever. Clive Staples Lewis, born in 1898,
wrote many books for adults but the Narnia stories were his only works
for children. The final title, The Last Battle, published in 1956, won
the Carnegie Award, the highest mark of excellence in children's
literature.
