The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
3 stars
Setting: Narnia, England
Published: 1950

Once again I have traveled to the land of Narnia. This time however, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are my guides and with their help have shown me a new Narnia. The one where the White Witch is in power and she has put a spell on everything, making it winter always. It is when the four children come to Narnia that her spell is broken and spring starts to come. In an epic battle in the end of the book, everything is put back in order and the children were the biggest help.

I once again liked this book. As I'm reading in the books, I can see the symbolism and reference to events that happen in Christian religion. However, reading this as a child, one might not see the correlation. I would recommend this book for children about 7 or 8 years old and older. I'm 24 and am now reading the series for the first time.
