Narnia... a land frozen in eternal winter... a country waiting to be set free.

Four adventurers step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change... and a great sacrifice.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the second book in C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, a series that has become part of the canon of classic literature, drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over fifty years. This is a stand-alone read, but if you would like to explore more of the Narnian realm, pick up The Horse and His Boy, the third book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

I loved reading this story, but I was really surprised that the book is so short. If we consider that it was written for kids, then it makes sense going straight to the point as it happens to be. As I've read the book years after watching the movie, I feel that the allusion to Christ and resurrection is much more intense in the book than in the movie, maybe because I was more attentive to any hint of that through the chapters. This story teaches a lot about love, courage, resilience and friendship, so it shouldn't matter if one is religious, spiritually connected, atheist or not. I think would be a waste of opportunity, not reading it or presenting it to kids and adolescents who are eager to read an uplifting & motivational story.

The entire series is packed full of excitement at the same time sadness with a pinch of humor. I loved the Authors style he truly has talent.

Very good classic novel! I definitely recommend this book for your children. It teaches life lessons whilst not making it obvious. If you are a Christian family then you can see the hidden message behind this book.

His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics, the Chronicles of Narnia.
