The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, a story of children
From the "Chronicles of Narnia" volume 1, by C.S. Lewis
This book and the following books in the series takes you on an imaginary journey. Four children go exploring in an old English mansion and enter a wardrobe which brings them to the land of Narnia. This land has talking animals and a white witch that terrifies all the animals in Narnia. The lion needs the children to help save the kingdom against the wicked witch. The white witch enslaves Edmund, the eldest boy. The rest of the children save him and the kingdom from the witch. The children are also made kings and queens.
I was told this book is for children, but adults may enjoy reading it too. I read it long before it was made into a movie. It seemed like a great plot for a movie. It is full of adventure and fast paced. This book is full of allegories, like when good prevails over evil. It is also great for children to use their imagination. The children come back in the following books in the series and have more adventures.
I love the first book and The Magician's Nephew. Too bad the most recent film adaptations haven't been successful ( and I actually like them, almost as good at the BBC adaptations from the 80s). I wonder if we'll ever see the rest of the series come to the big screen.
