The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by: C.S. Lewis - Book to Movie

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, written by C. S. Lewis in 1950 will lure and entice readers. Narnia is a fantasy land that is under the spell of an evil witch who has stopped time in a never-ending winter. It is up to four children, Susan, Lucy, Edmond, and Peter to leave their world and travel through a wardrobe, which is the magical entrance to Narnia. Once in Narnia all realities change, and anything is possible. These children work with the Great Lion, Aslan, who sacrifices himself to free the people of Narnia. This is a magical story in which good and evil battle; characters include a variety of beings and animals. They include the “good”, which are Aslan’s people, such as tree women, centaurs, giants, unicorns, great dogs, and eagles. The “evil” winter witch’s people are composed of such creatures as ghouls, boggles, ogres, minotaurs, and peoples of the toadstools. Narnia is saved and soon winter turns to spring. In the end the children return through the secret wardrobe passageway to their normal existences. This is a wonderful book to read to get your imagination going; I really enjoyed reading this novel and watching the movie afterwards. Although the movie was good and followed the book for the most part, I am glad I read the book and let my imagination run wild.
