About this audiobook

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

Narnia has been at peace since Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy helped rid the kingdom of the evil White Witch. But now the children have returned to their own world, and in their absence a dark presence rules the once harmonious land.

Wicked King Miraz has imposed a destructive new order of persecution and imprisonment, but the King's nephew and rightful heir, Prince Caspian, realising the evil of his uncle's regime, vows to revive Narnia's glorious past.

Fearing for his life, he is forced to flee and calls on the four children, the magic of the mighty lion Aslan and an army of fauns, dwarfs and woodland spirits to help him in his seemingly impossible task.

Follow Aslan and his human friends on yet another escapade, as they take up the challenge to win back freedom and happiness for the magical land of Narnia.

Starring Maurice Denham as the Professor, Richard Puddifoot as Prince Caspian, Richard Griffiths as Trumpkin, Tom Wilkinson as Dr Cornelius, Tom Puccin as Peter, Susie Hay as Susan, Ellie Beavan as Lucy, Peter England as Edmund and Sylvester McCoy as Reepicheep.

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.
