If you enjoyed the movie, you'll love the book.
Classic YA fantasy about four children who enter a magical kingdom through an enchanted wardrobe. Strong mythic and Christian symbols.
This book was assigned reading for me in the 5th grade, and once completed, I immediately read the following 6 stories. Prior to seeing the movie, I picked up the book again (fortunately my husband kept his copies from school) and while I was able to finish it in one sitting, it was still a captivating read. I'm not real sure about the whole Christian-tie-in thing I've heard rumored--that seems like quite a stretch for a book about mythological creatures and witchcraft--but it's still a wonderful moral tale.
Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Creative and imaginative! A book I have loved and remembered for years.
As a child I read and reread the Chronicles of Narnia, by C. S. Lewis. They are wonderful, fantastic books whether or not you get or care for the Christian Allegory. These were a tremendous influence on me and one of the biggest reasons I love books so much today.
Great story for kids of all ages! "Here is your passport to a most extraordinary excursion into magical lands and enchanted happenings."-Back Cover
