Kathy5 Stars Out Of 5Through the Wardrobe and Into the Land of NarniaJanuary 25, 2013KathyQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is the first book C.S. Lewis wrote in the Chronicles of Narnia series in the early 1950's. The story is of the four Pevensie children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. The children are sent into the country during the bombing raids on London in World War II. The children arrive at the estate of the eccentric Professor Kirke. On a rainy day with nothing to do the children decide to play a game of hide and seek. As the children are hiding Lucy stumbles upon a room whose only contents are a blueglass bottle and and old wardrobe. Lucy chooses the wardrobe for a hiding place however as she manuevers through it she is magically transported to the land of Narnia, where it is always winter but never Christmas. In Narnia she meets the faun, Mr. Tumnus who tells her of the White Witches magical enchantment over Narnia and of the prophecy of Cair Parivel/Aslan's return which will bring the reign of the White Witch to its end. This is as far as I am going to go in giving away the plot of the book. This book is Number 2 in the series the Chronicles of Narnia. I would suggest when reading the books to read them in the order which Lewis wrote them. This story will delight both young and old alike. It is a classic to read over and over again with your family.

Leslie5 Stars Out Of 5January 16, 2006LeslieThis review was written for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.This book is fabulous. What I found is, to make it a better read, constantly compare Aslan to Jesus. It makes the story really come to life.

None5 Stars Out Of 5.July 20, 2022NoneBefore getting into this book, I started off with The Magician's Nephew, as C. S. Lewis recommended. Glad I did, because it explains where the wardrobe came from, and its implications in this book. Where the original began with Creation and Temptation, this one features Crucifixion and Resurrection. And in all the mix is Aslan, the Lion of Judah. Without giving away any plot threads for those who have never read it, I was completely taken aback when a very unexpected figure shows up, giving the three children magical gifts which they used later on in other books. Had I read these books in my younger days, they would not have had the implication they do now. I have come far in my faith journey, and my understanding has grown greatly. For those seeking answers, I would highly recommend the Narnia series. They are absolutely delightful, and C. S. Lewis's writing leaves no question whatsoever unanswered.
