>>>Narnia ... where animals talk ... where trees walk ... where a battle is about to begin.

A prince denied his rightful throne gathers an army in a desperate attempt to rid his land of a false king. But in the end, it is a battle of honour between two men alone that will decide the fate of an empire. <<<

I enjoyed this book more than I enjoyed The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe but perhaps my expectations were not as high this time around.

RELEASE NOTES:

To be released in the Atrium of the Cottesloe Central Shopping Centre.

My father (aged 75) found the book resting free on a bench while at the shopping centre. Not much of a fiction reader himself, he thought the cover looked like a young person's adventure, and so he brought the book home for his grandson (my son) William, aged 8. What he didn't know is that just one week before we had taken William to see the film of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, and that William was totally consumed with the story to the extent of routinely checking all wardrobes for access to Narnia. What my father also did not know is that William had, some time ago, started reading the stories and that Prince Caspian was next on the list, although we had not yet got hold of a copy for him. And now, thanks to Grandad and the magic of bookcrossing, here it is! I will have to convince William to let the book go when he's finished reading it, but I'm sure by then he will understand that its all part of the Narnian ethic of freedom. As befits the theme of the novel, we will set the book free in another land- who knows where?
