| 13/11/2015 06:55:42 | The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe is a book by C.S lewis. It talks about four kids called Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, who move to an old professor’s house during the war. But the professor is not an ordinary old man. As they discover later in the book, he is the adult Digory (from the magician’s nephew). And the wardrobe is no ordinary wardrobe either. The children go through the wardrobe, into the magical land of Narnia. The encounter many wonders there, including a talking lion, who is the king, an everlasting winter, and an evil empress, who insists that she is Queen. The Lion the witch and the wardrobe is a fantasy story, however, it draws you in and almost makes you believe the impossible. You very quickly get involved in it, fighting beside the children. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, are relatively normal children, however some of the people and creatures they meet, places they go, and things that happen to them are extraordinary, and magical. It is a great blend of fantasy and reality. The story quickly makes you want to know more about the children. There are many scary situation’s, when you feel glad the the mysterious Aslan is there. But the children aren’t all completely nice. Edmund has a few flaws, leaving him stranded with the white witch. The language is descriptive and it is easy to see all the different characters in your mind. However it still leaves plenty for your imagination to create. I recommend this book to anyone over the age of 8 as it is a bit scary. It also has enough information to even draw adults in. Enjoy. |
