150. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis
I haven't had much time for reading this past weekend -- I've spent pretty much the whole weekend on a reread of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe , a book I can usually zip through in 2-3 hours.
Sorry, let me rephrase my question to clarify: if you go to the details page of the book The lion, the witch and the wardrobe you will see under "other languages" the following:
Danish – Løven, heksen og garderobeskabet
Dutch – The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Estonian – Lõvi, Nõi ...
... likely to apply to all copies of Don Quixote in all languages.
And you're right, the Dutch title for that book is not The lion, the witch and the wardrobe - but why would you expect the Dutch title to float to the top when there are in all likelihood more English than Dutch language copies ...

Have always wanted to read the complete Chronicles of Narnia by C.S.Lewis, so I am finally going to do it. I loved The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe when I was younger. Just finished Book 1 The Magician's Nephew which I enjoyed. Onto Book 2 now. Three stars for The Magician's Nephew ...
... The Magician's Nephew, wookiebender? I don't think Lewis wrote that till afterwards, but I believe it's the prequel to The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe . Don't know if they ever plan a movie of that one, but it would be interesting.
I haven't read either Sir Gawain and the Green Night or The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe but I have read Lightning
It's the third. We've been reading them in movie order (The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe , Prince Caspian, Dawn Treader), but are now far ahead since the movie adaptation isn't coming out until next Xmas! I'd probably go for The Silver Chair next, but I do have to admit my memory of the ...

As a child I watched The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe every time it was on television. I finally read the book when I was a young teenager. I never realized that book was one of a whole series until the movie came out. I have since read all the chronicles and have to say I favor the books. ...

Great review - I need to reread The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe I think. I loathed it, probably because I had to do an excerpt from it for a Grade 2 speech exam and it ruined it forever!

The British television film version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The casting was ludicrous - the dear little girl chosen to play Lucy was absolutely un-Lucy-like in every possible way, and Aslan was played by a man dressed up in a (not very well sewn) lion costume. Blech.
