5 stars to C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Adored it. I must have read it three or four times as a child. Hits all the spots in my reading dreams. a forest. A large family. Talking animals. Secrets. Mystery. Drama. Hidden messages. Saga and series. Every child should read it.
Imagination runs free here. 4 children stuck a house. 1 goes exploring and finds herself lost in the world of Narnia. And the rest follow her.
Siblings fight. The book shows what happens when you don't listen to one another.
Aslan, the hero lion, helps show what sacrifice is all about. Good stuff.
I spent many a days looking for the secret world hidden somewhere in my closets. While I never actually transported to another world, this book is like its own Narnia - a transport into something magical.

This was one of my favorites as a kid and still is one of my favourite classic fantasies of all time.
For so many of us. Totally agree.
It's a favorite but I didn't read it as a kid. I came to it late. Like after college late!! But I've loved it ever since.
Have you seen the movies?
I have. :)
The first one is the best to me.

James, I smiled through this review. I could feel the love, and I share it. I am currently waiting for the perfect moment to crack it open with our middle child. I think she's almost ready, but I want to be sure!!

Good to hear, thank you. How old is she? So much to learn from it.
Sweet review, James. Great books. We just watched all the movies again this past week. They're all beautiful. ♡
