About this audiobook

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the sixth adventure in C. S. Lewis' classic Narnia series.

King Caspian has grown old and sad in the ten years since the disappearance of his only son. With time running out, Jill and Eustace embark on a perilous quest to find the Prince and bring back tranquillity to the magical land of Narnia.

Journeying to the wild lands of the North, the friends and their companion Puddleglum have some hair-raising adventures. There are mighty storms to battle and a terrifying encounter with a race of giants who like nothing better than a tasty snack – of human children!

Searching deep underground in the grim land of the Earthmen, they finally encounter the wicked Green Lady whose evil plan is to overthrow King Caspian and become Queen of Narnia. Can they stop her?

This sixth adventure in the Chronicles of Narnia is a thrilling trip through an enchanted land where heroes must fight the forces of darkness.

Starring Bernard Cribbins as Puddleglum, Richard Griffiths as Trumpkin, Victoria Shalet as Jill, Marco Williamson as Eustace, Frances Tomelty as the Green Lady and Stephen Thorne as Aslan.

About the author

C.S. Lewis was born in Belfast in 1898. In 1917 he went to Oxford University, but his studies were interrupted by the First World War, from which he was sent home wounded. One of his friends at Oxford was J.R.R. Tolkien. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was published in 1950. Fascinated by the difference in time between our own world and Narnia, Lewis wrote some of the books in a different order to the events which they portrayed. An example of this is The Magician's Nephew, which details the early history of Narnia and is intended to be read before the others. C.S. Lewis died in 1963.
