One of the most puzzling and interesting things in The Chronicles of Narnia is the way Time works. A whole lifetime in Narnia can last no longer than a minute of our time. And while you are in our world, there is no telling how much time will have passed in Narnia when you go back there.When Eustace Scrubb next goes to Narnia, he finds that more than seventy Narnian years have passed since The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. To Eustace, it has only been a few weeks, but once more Narnia is in great danger. Caspian's only son, the young Prince Rilian, has disappeared and there is no one to take the throne when the old King dies.Eustace brings someone new into Narnia - a girl at his school called Jill Pole. They are escaping from school bullies when they reach a door in the school grounds:But when the door actually opened, they both stood stock still, for what they saw was quite different from what they had expected ... [not] the grey, heathery slope of the moor going up and up to join the dull, autumn sky. Instead a blaze of sunshine met them. They saw smooth turf, smoother and brighter than Jill had ever seen before, and blue sky, and, darting to and fro, things so bright that they might have been jewels or huge butterflies.Under Aslan's watchful eye, Jill and Eustace are soon on the quest in search of Prince Rilian. Things are never simple when you are dealing with magic, especially evil magic, and the children have to trust Aslan's advice as they face one puzzling mystery after another. Luckily, on their side they have Puddleglum, the Marsh-wiggle who is always resourceful but also very gloomy:We're not very likely to get very far on a journey to the North, not at this time of the year with the winter coming on and all ... But you mustn't let that make you downhearted. Very likely, what with enemies and mountains and rivers to cross and losing our way and next to nothing to eat, we'll barely notice the weather.Puddleglum is quite right. They are soon lost in a web of strange and wonderful Narnian adventure. There is the beautiful Lady of the Green Kirtle, who sends them to the Giants of Harfang, and her companion, a silent black knight. The giants seem very friendly - but are they to be trusted? And if the dangers in the threatening City of the Giants seem terrifying, it is nothing to the evil that lurks in the mysterious world of Underland.
