The prince’s mother has been killed and the prince kidnapped. He has been put under a horrible spell for several years. Aslan sends for the children to come free the prince of this curse and save Narnia once again. I love the battle between good and evil in these books…particularly in the children’s minds as they fight their flesh to make right choices. Jill has a particularly hard time in this book, but Puddleglum always comes through with encouragement in a round about way. I love how the names in these books encapsulate a character so well. I quite often am heard saying, “You are acting like Eustace.” or “Ok Puddleglum.” and E knows EXACTLY my meaning. (This is a great child training hack! Wink!)
***Gosh and golly are both used as well as the d word and a**, both used one time each.
