The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian
It takes place about 1,300 years after the events of ?The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe? but in London, only one year passes between the events of ?The Lion? and ?Prince Caspian?. The four intrepid children return to Narnia and meet an intriguing new character: Narnia?s rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of a kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Kings and Queens of Narnia, led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian, embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz?s tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.
