"If you ever doubt that C. S. Lewis was gifted with a prophetic voice, you need look no further for correction than Prince Caspian.
In the story, you may remember, Narnia is in a desperate situation. The Telmarines have taken over, and the citizens of Narnia have been persecuted, silenced, and driven into hiding. When Prince Caspianâa Telmarine himself, but one who sympathizes with the Narnian causeâjoins forces with them, this leads to a fresh round of attacks from the other Telmarines and their king, Miraz. The Narnians try to summon help by using Queen Susanâs hornâand they are successful, though not all of them realize it right away."

Twas a GOOD post about Prince Caspian - haven't read the series in YEARS now, though I read it more than a few times back then. C.S. Lewis was an excellent writer, and not just in his Narnia series.
Some of them honestly believe the annoying spiel will "make a difference".
