Prince Caspian - Chapter 1
 The Island
Había una vez cuatro niños llamados Peter, Susan, Edmund y Lucy que, según se cuenta en un libro llamado El león, la bruja y el armario, habían corrido una extraordinaria aventura. Tras abrir la puerta de un armario mágico, habían ido a parar a un mundo muy distinto del nuestro, y en aquel mundo distinto se habían convertido en reyes y reinas de un lugar llamado Narnia.
