In The Last Battle, an evil ape tricks a donkey into wearing a lion’s skin and makes the people of Narnia believe it is Aslan. Teaming up with the base Calormenes to the south, the ape enslaves the inhabitants of Narnia and sets its very destruction in motion. King Rilian’s fervent appeal for help effects the return of Eustace and Jill. But will the others return as well? Will Aslan save Narnia in its darkest hour? The sixth book of the Chronicles of Narnia, it was first published in 1956.
