The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe
(C.S. Lewis)
Aslan is coming, Aslan is coming! Not before time too! Finally the movie of that wonderful book is only a few sleeps away.
This magical book was first read to me by my grade 5 school teacher 30 years ago. I was catapulted from the boring confines of a school classroom to the land of Narnia, as soon as that first chapter was read. Each day at 12:00 noon, the teacher would read three chapters of this book, prior to breaking for lunch. It was probably the only time in my life that I looked forward to the next school day to listen to the next three chapters. As a kid, I wasn't a great reader until I discovered Narnia. C.S.Lewis turned me from a lazy reader into a voracious reader. He made reading books fun.
The four children were portrayed splendidly in harmony with the wonderful talking beings of Narnia. As a male, I felt a sense of guilt towards Lucy for the treatment she copped from nasty Edmund. I was enarmoured by the kindly faun, Mr Tumnus. I was spellbound by the sheer evilness & majestry of the Witch. What can you say about Aslan ? His courage, his beauty, his wisdom live with you forever.
To this day, this is still the best book I have ever read. I have probably read this & the rest of the Narnia Chronicles a dozen times in the ensuing 30 years. It is not just a kids book. It's a fantasy that kids & adults alike, can immerse themselves into. At times, we all need to escape to other lands, & Narnia is the perfect land to elope to.
Once you read this book, you will feel compelled to read the rest of the Narnia Chronicles. They are that well written. I have probably passed this book onto as many as 20 people over the years. They have all thanked me for taking them to Narnia. Well sorry that's enough for me. I'm just about to walk through the wardrobe again. Mr Tumnus has a fresh brew of coffee waiting for me!
