Prince Caspian

The Chronicles of Narnia
#
4

Content Ratings

No Romance
There is no romantic content; all relationships remain within the context of loyalty and friendship.
Mild Themes
Themes include doubt in the face of faith, the usurpation of rightful authority, and the courage to act when others hesitate; the moral framework is clear and optimistic.
Mild Violence
A climactic battle and multiple skirmishes involve sword fighting and combat deaths among soldiers; violence is fantastical and adventure-appropriate.
Synopsis

The Pevensie children return to Narnia to find that centuries have passed and the world they knew has changed dramatically; they must help the rightful heir Prince Caspian reclaim his throne from his treacherous uncle Miraz. A slightly more complex adventure than its predecessor, introducing themes of doubt, political usurpation, and the difficulty of trusting what one cannot see. A strong second installment in the Chronicles.
