Prince Caspian.
Repeatedly in "Prince Caspian," C.S. Lewis examines the faulty assumptions and expectations of some of the characters as they rely on false information or take others at face value.
For example, one can argue that the bravest warrior in the book is not Peter or a Telmarine. Instead, it is a mouse--Reepicheep. This tiny fighter almost makes mincemeat of Prince Caspian, who arrogantly assumes no one so small could ever overcome him.
Similarly, when the children return to Narnia, the current Narnians--as well as Prince Caspian--are expecting adults, not children to come to their aid. Not realizing that the children had performed brave deeds in the past to save Narnia, the Narnians meet them with the disappointed reaction of "You're it?"
The Bible is filled with stories of God choosing the small or foolish to demonstrate his power. Yet too often we continue to judge only by superficial qualities.
