Prince Caspian by Ernie Malik

The ultimate visual companion and keepsake to the making of the stunning fantasy film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, based on the beloved classic by C.S. Lewis.

This book will be the ultimate visual companion to the second movie in the blockbuster Narnia series, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. One year after the incredible events of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”, the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct, Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy.

The four children will soon meet an intriguing new character: Narnia’s rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians, led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian, embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz’s tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.

This behind-the-scenes guide, written by the on-set publicist, includes riveting accounts of how the screenplay adaptors and storyboard artists brought C.S. Lewis’s story to graphic life, where the movie was filmed, an update on the four child actors from the first movie and how the overwhelming success of the first movie affected their lives, a look at the new main characters, details of the special effects, costumes, makeup and more. Four-colour throughout, this book also includes still shots from the film, photos of the production, conceptual art and design, anecdotes from cast and crew, and much more.
