The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

OPEN A DOOR AND ENTER A WORLD—

A WORLD TRAPPED IN ETERNAL WINTER,

AWAITING HOPE . . . AND FREEDOM.

Four siblings step through a mysterious wardrobe and into the magical Narnia, a once-peaceful land now frozen in snow and stone by the cruelty of the evil White Witch. Only the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, can put an end to the White Witch’s tyranny and restore peace. But for winter to meet its death and spring to come again, a great sacrifice must be made. . . .

Nostalgic. I loved this so much, even though some physical traits are off from the movie, I couldn't get it off my mind reading this.
The scenes were well done now that I've read this.
Beautiful story, I cried for the last couple of chapters.

The way that C.S. Lewis talks to us throughout the book is very unique, loved the writing style.
"Once a King or Queen in Narnia, always a King or Queen, bear it well Sons of Adam, bear it well Daughters of Eve." - Aslan

Fabulous series which I read aloud to my son when he was in second grade. It was the beginning of our love for fantasy books.

I was lucky, I didn't realize it was allegory until years later. And I still check the back of all wardrobes, just in case. NOTE: These should be read in the original order, not the new-style chronological order, that's just silly.
