  A book from my youth. Like a secret Treasure. Sheer magical genius.

  In college for an English Literature class, we were assigned to do a book report and compare & contrast with a movie if the book we were doing was also made into a movie.
  
  I chose this book since it had a Christian theme and also I'd never seen the movie and wanted to watch it.
  
  I was very impressed by C.S. Lewis' creative storytelling and Christian iconography used in it. I enjoyed the fact that even though it was clearly based on Christianity, it was a good story on its own, even for those readers who may not be Christians.
  
  I've never read the rest of the series, but I do plan to eventually.

  What a delightful little book! I've read several reviews where the reviewer complained about the overt hit-you-over-the-head religious message hammered into your brain, but I totally did not get that. I'm not a very religious person, so maybe I'm just clueless. But I very much enjoyed the story, and even the writing. I have the entire series (I think, it ends with book 7, right?) and look forward to them all.
  
  And I'll admit, reading this made me want to see the movie again.

  I picked this book out of a school catalogue way back in kindergarten, and then my mother would read a couple pages to me each night. Then I read it myself several times before moving on the actual Chronicles of Narnia. It's full of so much nostalgia for me, being one of the most memorable books from my childhood, I still own it to this day. They abridged it well for the format and the art is beautiful, I wish they had made these for each book in the Narnia series.

  Very nice illustrated edition. Doesn't have the professor's trilemma.

  Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are four siblings who are sent away from London to live with a kind professor to escape from the conflict of World War II and the bombings of the London Blitz. Though they escape from the danger of the war, they are not quite safe yet. Another dangerous adventure awaits them in the professor's house. A seemingly ordinary wardrobe holds within it a secret entrance to the mythical land of Narnia, a once beautiful realm that has been veiled in a cruel winter that's raged for a hundred years, all because of the evil White Witch who overthrew the queen and stole her place as ruler of the land. The four siblings get swept up in an ancient battle to free the many inhabitants of Narnia from the White Witch's reign of terror, led by the brave and fearsome lion king Aslan.
  
  Overall, a fairly enjoyable experience. I loved the depiction of Narnia and the many mystical descriptions of the land and the fantastical creatures that inhabit it, but that's really the only thing I liked about it. I didn't really feel any connection to the characters, especially not Edmund who reminded me a lot of Dudley from Harry Potter. I didn't feel threatened or intrigued by the villain as there wasn't much background given to her other than the fact that she's beautiful and evil, and Aslan was a bit too corny and simplistic for me to care about or root for as well. The Christian allegories are a bit heavy handed but I enjoyed the world and setting for what it was.
  
  The main conflict felt somewhat empty to me because I never found myself caring about either side that much. Lucy was fairly cool though, perhaps the only character I really liked, and the book is very short so it's not like it dragged on either.

  The classic Christic tale of Aslan, the White Witch, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy in Narnia. There are plenty of discussions of the symbolism and manifold meanings in this easy to read and well written book. I would encourage anyone to read the original Chronicles and not rely on movies or TV for their sole exposure to this classic tale. A great read for all ages.

  After my friend got me into the movies, i decided to pick up the books. I finished the book in 3 days and was completely interested in it the whole time, if you love mythical story's that took place in the time of kings and queens. Then this book is definitely for you

  If it wasn't for this book, I wouldn't have enjoyed the original as much (talking 4th grade me here). I wish they'd republish it.
