| Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are on a train station when they find themselves drawn back to the land of Narnia that they had ruled as Kings and Queens previously. But the Narnia now is one very different from the one they left. Another tyrant is ruling and the dwarves, animals and trees have all been banished and a state of civil war has been declared. Young Prince Caspian is desperately trying to regain the throne and bring Narnia back to its former glory from days of old. The four siblings must help him in his quest to make this a reality but get some guiding advice from their old friend Aslan the Lion. | ||
