Book Description:
One of the most highly respected fantasy novels ever written, THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE can be seen as both an exciting children's adventure story and an allegory about faith.
The story begins when the Pevensie siblings (Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy) escape the dangers of World War II-era London by relocating to the country home of family friend Professor Kirke. One day, while playing hide-and-seek, Lucy hides in an old wardrobe and finds herself transported to the world of Narnia, a magical land frozen in eternal winter by the evil White Witch. ith the help of her siblings, Lucy sets forth to free Narnia from the White Witch's reign by bringing about the return of Narnia's guardian, Aslan the lion, a quest impeded by a shocking betrayal.

My first introduction into Narnia was from my wife who, reading it, exclaimed "...what a beautiful picture of Christ." Allegorical somewhat as a piece of children's literature, and not overly accurate theologically, nevertheless, when I saw what happened when Aslan took Edmond's place, then I understood what she meant, and enjoyed the beauty of the picture immensely. And the character of Lucy is the most interesting of the 4 children, picturing the simplicity of trust in Aslan.

Chasity G. (Such a great book! I am a huge fan of C.S. Lewis and this one was a hook. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed by this one.
This is a wonderful story which delights both children and adults alike.
Sara D. (I was highly dissapointed with Lewis's classic. I felt like everytime I really got into the story, I was reminded it was a story in the most obvious way. Maybe I'm to old or just don't understand the underlying religious subtext but I don't think I'll continue on reading the series.
Aimee S. (Incredible book, features a section of photos from the film.
