Chapter 10 Summary: “The Return of the Lion”

Trumpkin and the Pevensie children continue hiking, finding the woods and the gorge difficult terrain to navigate. Tired and irritated, they realize that they will not reach Prince Caspian by evening and consider setting up a camp by the river. The boys recognize the place where they fought the Battle of Beruna, and this motivates them. Suddenly, the group is under attack by flying arrows, and they quickly crawl back along the way they came, finding safety under a large boulder. Trumpkin and the children agree that they should hike back up the gorge as Lucy originally suggested. Peter and Edmund admit that their ideas were wrong, which pleases Lucy.

The children and the dwarf roast their bear meat for supper and happily fall asleep in their open-air camp. Hearing a deep voice, Lucy wakes up. She notices that the trees seem to be moving, and she walks over to them. Lucy realizes that the trees are half-awake and keeps walking through the woods to find the voice. She is overjoyed to see Aslan and runs to greet him with a hug.
