Book Review of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia)

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia)
reviewed on + 80 more book reviews


I decided to re-read this book Friday night after seeing at the movie theater that a new film version will be released this coming December. Of course, I have seen the BBC version of the film so many times that its images, and not my own, follow me through each chapter of the book. But that is not a bad thing. The BBC film and the book are both magical. First in a series; sequels include Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician's Nephew, and The Last Battle.
