The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

I just finished reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. This is a fantasy novel that was written for children. This is the first book that was written in the series The Chronicles of Narnia. Four children were sent to live with a professor during the beginning of World War II. The children decide to play hide in seek one day after the arrive at the home in the country. One of the kids named Lucy hid in a wardrobe only to find a door to an outside world which soon was found out to be Narnia. Soon enough the kids all go to Narnia and befriend Mr. Tumnus who soon was captured by the White Witch. The kids also find out that the king of Narnia is a lion named Aslan. He was sacrificed by the White Witch, but comes back to life because of some magic and defeats the Witch and kills her. All four children soon become kings and queens. They rule Narnia for a very long time, and when they return back to the real world they are kids.


I enjoyed this book very much. I like the novel much more than the movie because I can imagine the world of Narnia for myself. All the kids enter into this fantasy world that holds a possible danger to them with the White Witch who has taken over. Mr. Tumnus trys to protect and help the kids out. I enjoyed this book because the fantasy was very vivid and it made me feel like I was apart of the experience.
