Zondervan, Oct 25, 2005 - Fiction - 198 pages

In the never-ending war between good and evil, The Chronicles of Narnia set the stage for battles of epic proportions. Some take place in vast fields, where the forces of light and darkness clash. But other battles occur within the small chambers of the heart and are equally decisive.

Journeys to the ends of the world, fantastic creatures, betrayals, heroic deeds and friendships won and lost -- all come together in an unforgettable world of magic. So open the door and enter a new world.

The second volume in The Chronicles of Narnia®

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Narnia ... a land frozen in eternal winter ... a country waiting to be set free.

Four adventurers step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia -- a land enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change ... and a great sacrifice.

CS Lewis is definitely blessed with the amazing storytelling ability to be able to tell such powerful message through a beautifully written children's book. This is the kind of book that I will definitely want to pass through my children and grandchildren and so on.

This is a classic that I am so glad I read this summer. I found there to be a lot of symbolism that I picked up on as an adult. I am going to try and make it through the series!
