The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian

By: Eva, Alyssa, Chloe, Katelyn, Lindsay, Caitlin & Jackson

Summary

There are four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy and they go on a adventure in the

world of Narnia.Once they all arrive in Narnia they find out that

Cair Paravel is in ruins. That day they meet a dwarf who guides them on their journey in

Narnia. On the other hand, Prince Caspian is learning

his studies. His uncle forbids him from learning about old Narnia and so he gets a professor who promises to not tell the boy

about Narnia.

C.S. Lewis

C S Lewis was born on 29 November 1898, in Belfast, Ireland, and died on 22 November 1963.

He married late in life (age 58) and then lost his wife to cancer after 3 years of a happy marriage. He never learned to drive a car and never owned one. He was good friends with J.R.R. Tolkien and dedicated one of his books to Tolkien.

Childhood

On November 29, 1898, Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland. He was the son of A. J. Lewis, and Flora

August Hamilton Lewis. At four years old he told his parents that he wanted to be called "Jack" Lewis, and his family and friends referred to him that way for the rest of his life. Jack's best friend as a boy was his older brother Warren. They did everything together and even created their own made-up country, Boxen, going so far as to

create many individual characters and a four-hundred-year history of the country.

This is C.S. Lewis’ House

World War In 1917, Lewis left his studies to volunteer in the British Army.

During World War I he was commissioned an officer in the Third Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry. Lewis arrived at

the front line in the Somme Valley in France on his nineteenth birthday, and experienced trench warfare.

On April 15,1918, Lewis was wounded and two of his colleagues were killed by an English shell falling short of its target. Lewis suffered from depression and homesickness during his convalescence. Upon his recovery in October, he

was assigned to duty in Andover, England. He was discharged in December 1918, and soon returned to his

studies. Lewis received a First in Honour Moderations (Greek and Latin Literature) in 1920, a First in Greats

(Philosophy and Ancient History) in 1922, and a First in English in 1923.

(This is probably why he wrote about Narnia and it all happened during a World War)

Where did C.S. Lewis come up with the word “Narnia”?

According to Paul Ford's Companion to Narnia: "..There is no indication that [Lewis] was alluding to the ancient Umbrian city Nequinium, renamed Narnia (after the river Nar, a tributary of

the Tiber) by the conquering Romans in 299 BC. Since Lewis's first successes at Oxford were in the classics and ancient

history, it is quite possible that he came across at least seven references to Narnia in Latin literature.

"Four references are found in Livy's History (10:10, 27:9,27:50, and 29:15)... ... Tacitus's Annals (3:9).... Pliny the Elder's comment in Natural History about its unusual weather (it

became drier in the rainy season).... Pliny the Younger's letter to his mother-in-law, in which he mentions the excellence of

the accommodations of her villa at Narnia, especially its beautiful baths. Of all of these references, Lewis mentions only

Pliny the Younger, in a letter to Arthur Greeves (They Stand Together, Macmillan, Collins, 1979, p. 171)."
