The Silver Chair?is my least favorite book in the Narnia series, but that by no means makes it junk. Eustace returns and brings with him a new character, a schoolmate by the name of Jill Pole. Immediately Aslan sets them a task: locate and rescue Prince Rilian, son of King Caspian, who was kidnapped ten years before. And so Jill and Eustace, with the help of a solemn but valiant Marsh-wiggle named Puddleglum, set off for the northern wastes to rescue the prince.

It is this gloomy setting that I... dont care for in the book. The marsh is wide and lonely, the mountains cold, hard, and bleak. And then the trio goes underground to a world of darkness, drabness, and evil. I much prefer the beauty of southern Narnia. But I do think its cool that Lewis developed such a varied world. And the adventures are just as exciting as any other the children embark on.

What makes the book especially meaningful, like all the others, is the wealth of double meanings. Like when Jill first arrives in Aslans Country and badly wants a drink, but shes too frightened to pass the great, terrifying Lion lying by the stream:
