A fantasy story at its finest: one that engages and teaches lessons too!

I enjoyed the book and was especially impressed with the Professor's advice to the kids. If you are listening to two different versions of the same story, which of the storytellers do you trust? Who has been most truthful in the past? That's the one you should believe.

I loved the fantasy setting and will always love Mr. Tumnus and the beautiful old wardrobe.
