Books

Mixed early editions. Illustrated throughout by Pauline Baynes. 8vo., 7 vols. Original cloth with dust wrappers designed by Pauline Baynes. Some wrappers price-clipped, a few occasional chips to wrappers, a little residual glue staining to one wrapper and associated endpaper, a couple of ink names and a presentation label, but generally a very good bright set with only a little sunning to spines of wrappers. A handsome set of early editions of this enduring classic of children's fiction.

Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia is a high fantasy novel for children by C. S. Lewis, published by Geoffrey Bles in 1951. It was the second-published of seven novels in The Chronicles of Narnia (1950–1956), although it is volume four in recent editions, which are sequenced according to the novels' internal chronology. In the story, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are transported back to Narnia, where they aid Prince Caspian in his struggle for the throne against his corrupt uncle, King Miraz.
