If anyone can take me away from my mundane or stressful (depending on the day, right?) and relocate me in a world where anything is possible it's C.S. Lewis. I can remember looking curiously at my own wardrobe as a child and wondering..if...just...maybe? This book is a must read for parents and children of all ages and in reading it this time, I can see that it is Meant to be read again and again as there is so very much to take in that it's simply impossible to do so in just one read. ( )Children's literature doesn't get any better than this. The story's allegory, while crystal-clear to adults, can be ignored by the younger set and the story can be enjoyed just as a wonderful adventure in make-bleieve. Fast moving, i guess i kind of forgot this one thought but it was still SUPER DE DUPER good!!! except when Aslan is killed on the round table. This is a charming tale of good vs. evil. It is a great tale for the first time fantasy reader. Nothing really scarry or horrible happens except what happens to Aslan at the stone table. This is quickly resolved so a younger reader will not be upset too long. I can see why it was so popular when it came out, especially with the aftermath of WWII. This book is about three children and the adventures they encourtner on the other side of the wardrobe /dresser. Another land exist and a battle between good and evil. The children must decide what to do and who to trust.
When I began reading the story, it seemed well written but the fairy-tale atmosphere was curiously cut-and-dried... Two of my daughters re-educated me. I made the mistake of reading them the first chapter, and since then it has been two chapter a night, sometimes followed by tears when a third chapter is not forthcoming.

There are a thousand stories in the land of Narnia, and the first is about to be told in an extraordinary motion picture, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, from Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media.
In the never-ending war between good and evil, The Chronicles of Narnia set the stage for battles of epic proportions. Some take place in vast fields, where the forces of light and darkness clash. But other battles occur within the small chambers of the heart and are equally decisive.
Journeys to the ends of the world, fantastic creatures, betrayals, heroic deeds and friendships won and lost -- all come together in an unforgettable world of magic. So join the battle to end all battles.
The second volume in
The Chronicles of Narnia®
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
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.
