Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and 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.
Journey into the land beyond the wardrobe! The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the second book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has been captivating readers of all ages for over sixty years.

I decided to pick up the Chronicles of Narnia in a beautiful illustrated edition, which inspired a re-read to complete the series. I'd definitely read a couple of the stories, but I'm not sure I ever finished it.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was a solid story, but while it's enjoyable I didn't find it to be particularly memorable. I think that's probably due to how familiar I find this story; it's so famous and I liked the adaptions so much that the book really couldn't have held up. I'm looking forward to seeing how the other books that I don't know much about stack up.
I read this in December 2021 for the zillionth time to join in Calmgrove's Narniathon (one book per month, in publication order). Thoughts to be posted on my blog shortly.
my childhood and wanting to dream and write probably started here. A gorgeous story that I have read many times as a child and now as a father myself, I have read this with my children. Rich story, deep in parts with characters to match, blends itself into a ‘fairy-tale' like story that runs beyond the norm, keeping you warm and cosy. A greet feeling, a fantastic read for all ages.
