About this product
Product Information
Back into Narnia Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, and it has been told in another book called The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe how they had a remarkable adventure. So begins C. S. Lewis's Prince Caspian and the children's second remarkable escapade into Narnia--a Narnia known but unknown, looking much different than it did in their first adventure. C. S. Lewis scholar Marjorie Lamp Mead and literary specialist Leland Ryken work their own magic to take you deep into Narnia once again, providing a guided tour of Prince Caspian that highlights characters, setting and framework, with rich background details to enhance your reading of the story. The authors also shed light on Lewis's imagination and literary forms, and include a brief biography of Lewis himself. Added questions for discussion and reflection make this the perfect companion to Prince Caspian for book discussion groups. Following the pattern set in their Reader's Guide Through the Wardrobe, Mead and Ryken help you, like the Pevensie children, enter Narnia again in a new way and find it to be an even more surprising place than you ever imagined.

Reviews
A Reader's Guide to Caspian is meant to give vocabulary to that intangible delight we feel while reading Lewis's fantasy. The "journey" Mead and Ryken have prepared is a literary one. Delving into literary forms and devices such as allegory and "resuce motif," they tastefully reveal the method behind the story's magic., Like its predecessor, A Reader's Guide Through the Wardrobe, A Reader's Guide to Caspian . . . help[s] the reader to interpret their experience through an explanation of the literary art of the author, at the same time expanding and enhancing the reader's understanding through thoughtful commentary and reflection. In other words, Mead and Ryken have succeeded in getting themselves out of the way of the reader's encounter with the story while helping to broaden and deepen their own experience of reading the text., Many books have been written about the writings of C. S. Lewis. This is one that would please Professor Lewis. Mead and Ryken are superb tour guides through Prince Caspian. Long live A Reader's Guide to Caspian., This book isn't necessary to the enjoyment of Prince Caspian, but it is necessary if you want to get to the rock-bottom truths of that story. It throws more light on Prince Caspian than anything I've ever read., A Reader's Guide to Caspian is the best kind of literary companion, and one which Lewis himself would approve, always keeping readers focused on the primary narrative. It is perfect for a reader's group or college classroom study of Narnia, providing insight and inspiration on every page.
