Synopsis
One of the most highly respected fantasy novels ever written, THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE can be seen as both an exciting children's adventure story and an allegory about faith. The story begins when the Pevensie siblings (Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy) escape the dangers of World War II-era London by relocating to the country home of family friend Professor Kirke. One day, while playing hide-and-seek, Lucy hides in an old wardrobe and finds herself transported to the world of Narnia, a magical land frozen in eternal winter by the evil White Witch. With the help of her siblings, Lucy sets forth to free Narnia from the White Witch's reign by bringing about the return of Narnia's guardian, Aslan the lion, a quest impeded by a shocking betrayal. Although THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE was the first of the Chronicles of Narnia to be published, many readers prefer to begin the series with THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW (the sixth book published), because it describes the history of Narnia and sets the stage for the adventures of the Pevensie siblings. THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE has been adapted for the screen several times, including two live-action British TV productions (1967 and 1988), a British/American animated TV movie, and a big Hollywood film in 2005.

My first introduction into Narnia was from my wife who, reading it, exclaimed "...what a beautiful picture of Christ." Allegorical somewhat as a piece of children's literature, and not overly accurate theologically, nevertheless, when I saw what happened when Aslan took Edmond's place, then I understood what she meant, and enjoyed the beauty of the picture immensely. And the character of Lucy is the most interesting of the 4 children, picturing the simplicity of trust in Aslan.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (the first book in the Narnia Series) is a great book. I first read it, along with the other six books in the series, when I was in grade school and I was completely entranced. I highly recommend this book. It is especially appropriate reading for grammar school children.

What a wonderful world Narnia is...I was lucky enough to share this world with my 7 year old son as I read this book to him. It is such a beautiful story that can be appreciated by us both. There was the fantasy and whimsy of a world entered into by a secret passage that all kids and I enjoyed. Then there were deeper parallels with bibilical reference that wouldn't be picked up my children probably but adults. I read that these books should be read once as a child and once as an adult and I believe that to be true. The passage describing Aslans death was so deeply written it was difficult for me to read aloud but, not inappropiate for my son to hear. It was a wonderful expirence to share with my child we are looking forward to the rest of the series.

I read the entire set of 7 little Narnia books every 3 to 5 years: I must! A great story, well told, true at many levels (as good fantasy fiction often is), memorable characters, good humor too. Though this one, LWW, is often listed first or packaged first in the set, it is actually #2 in the chronology of Lewis' overall scheme. Highly recommended at all ages; if fact, I read the full set out loud, chapter by chapter, as bedtime stories for my grandson when he was 4-5 years old. We agreed, by the way, on our favorite characters in the series: Puddleglum, the Marsh-wiggle, closely followed by Reepicheep, the incomparably noble mouse.

I have read this story many times and have enjoyed it every time I have read it. It is the story of how the Pevensey children find Narnia. In a stately home of Digory Kirke, who is now an ederly man, the Pevensey children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, come to spend time away from London and the blitzkrig. They are playing and discover an old wardrobe in a spare room and Lucy enters it and finds herself in Narnia, where she meets a faun, Mr Tumnus, and they become friends. Later all the children enter Narnia and meet Aslan, the lion king, who was waiting for them so the prophecy can be fulfilled. But before anything can happen, Aslan must make a heavy sacrifice to restore Edmund. The battle starts in earnest and all kinds of wonderous things take place in Narnia.

Of course, I have seen the BBC version of the film so many times that its images, and not my own, follow me through each chapter of the book. But that is not a bad thing. The BBC film and the book are both magical. First in a series; sequels include Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician's Nephew, and The Last Battle.

This book was assigned reading for me in the 5th grade, and once completed, I immediately read the following 6 stories. Prior to seeing the movie, I picked up the book again (fortunately my husband kept his copies from school) and while I was able to finish it in one sitting, it was still a captivating read. I'm not real sure about the whole Christian-tie-in thing I've heard rumored--that seems like quite a stretch for a book about mythological creatures and witchcraft--but it's still a wonderful moral tale.

C.S. Lewis is thought of as a thinking mans author,
this book the first in a series is a delightful childrens book,
and reads almost if it is being read aloud to your grand children.
If you're looking for a book to read your kids, this is a great place to start.

This book is the second in the series of The Chronicles of Narnia. Great reading for 5th grade and up. A character named Lucy finds a secret wardrobe in the professor's old house. At first, no one believes her but eventually they end of having too.

The book is of course better than the movie and a great read-aloud for your own children.

this is the book that was turned into a movie. the books are always better than the movies. A must read
This is such a classic. I have never read it I am sorry to say. I ordered it here to begin reading it to my 9 year old daughter. We both look forward now to reading a chapter in bed each night before she goes to sleep. We are excited about doing this with the whole series....

I can't remember the last time I read such an unhelpful, unoriginal lot of reviews. Not one of them convinces me that the reviewer actually read them--"Good"? "A Classic"?! Wow.

I haven't read this book in years, and it was sort of sad to just see it collecting dust on my shelf. Hope whoever gets it enjoys it as much as I did!

Hmm, how can anyone even attempt to compare Lewis to Tolkien? I read it out of curiousity. I would not recommend it, even for kids...
