Once a King or Queen in Narnia...Always a King or Queen in Narnia
One of my great joys is sharing books that illuminated my childhood with my own child. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is one of my very favorite books, and it has been delightful to revisit this book and the rest of the series. I know they renumbered the volumes some years back, but to me this will always be Volume One in the series. This is the book that introduced me to the wonders of Narnia. This is the book that encouraged me to keep my eyes open, always, for that portal that might just appear to take me to another world. This book holds magic, rare and true; not only the magic inside Narnia itself but the magic of a truly enveloping book. The Pevensie children have left their home behind during the Blitz. Like so many children in England during World War 2, they have been sent to a strange place for safety. But the narrative of the war fades away under the excitement of discovering first the joys of the rambling country estate where they are staying, and then the world of Narnia. The reader has that experience of discovery along with Lucy, Susan, Edmund, and Peter. The sensory details (the snow, the fur coats, the light from the lamppost, the cozy homes of Mr. Tumnus and the Beavers, the food—Turkish Delight, anyone?) and the quick-moving adventure laced with magic combine to create a world that feels so real that I have never quite stopped looking for it outside the pages of the book. Once a King or Queen in Narnia, indeed. This is one of the books that stays with the reader long after the pages have been finished. I have read this book many times, and the world I am in always slips away as I follow Lucy through the doors of the wardrobe and find myself in Narnia, in that magical world where good beings battle to overturn the reign of the White Witch who has made it always winter, yet never Christmas. This book is also ideal for a read-aloud bedtime story, although do not be surprised if your child keeps asking you to read more! I recommend this book with all my heart to anyone who loves portal fiction, books about magic, fairy tales, and children’s books in general. Like many works of art, it is a different book each time I encounter it, perhaps because I am a different reader. Like all the best children’s books, this one is really for all ages.
I loved it it’s one of my favorite books because it’s based off the Bible
CS Lewis and The author of the Lord of the rings both sat in coffee shops talking about how to base their books on the Bible and they both gave each other ideas on both books
awesomeness
This book was absolutely amazing, I had so much fun reading it. I highly recommend this book for children under the age of 12.
I recomend this product
My granddaughter loves it.
Captivating
I read this after watching the movie for the first time at 23. I don’t know how I managed to miss this series as a kid, but I know I would have eaten it up then. I think I liked the movie a bit more, but this was still a very good read.
great book
One of the best books I have read in a while. At first I thought it was for children but boy was I wrong!
Loved the book
Kept me entertained wondering what was going to happen next. Connecting the dots relating this to scripture was difficult. Thought what does this have to do with scripture. Then, met with book club group and pieces came together. Entertaining...
Better than I could have hoped!
The original of this story by C.S. Lewis is one of my all-time favorite books. My young son has been wanting to read that with me, but it’s a bit too advanced for him just now, so I searched for a children’s alternative. This version is excellent! I’m so happy with it! The story is basically an abridgment of the original, creating a slightly simpler read at a child-appropriate level; this story stays true to the plot, theme, and MESSAGE of the original book, which was very important to me. The illustrations are stunning!! My son and I have just started reading it together, and he loves it! We plan to keep it and enjoy it with others in our family for many years. Highly recommend! I had no problems with the purchase. It is a little expensive, but I feel it was worth the price for a hardback book of good quality. The book arrived promptly, was packaged well and in good condition.
