So the Dwarf settled down and told his tale. I shall not give it to you in his words， putting in all the children‘s questions and interruptions， because it would take too long and be confusing， and， even so， it would leave out some points that the children only heard later.

The Dwarf Tells Of Prince Caspian
Prince Caspian lived in a great castle in the centre of Narnia with his uncle， Miraz， the King of Narnia， and his aunt， who had red hair and was called Queen Prunaprismia. His father and mother were dead and the person whom Caspian loved best was his nurse， and though （being a prince） he had wonderful toys which would do almost anything but talk， he liked best the last hour of the day when the toys had all been put back in their cupboards and Nurse would tell him stories.
