The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (The Chronicles of Narnia)
C. S. Lewis
For the first time, an edition of Lewis’s classic fantasy fiction packaged specifically for adults. Complementing the look of the author’s non-fiction books, and anticipating the forthcoming Narnia feature films, this edition contains an exclusive “P.S.” section about the history of the book, plus a sample chapter from its sequel. In 2003, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was ninth in the BBC’s Big Read, the biggest ever survey among adults of popular fiction. That a ‘children’s book’ should be in the top 10 proved to any doubters that C.S. Lewis’s fantasy stories have the magic to engage even the most hardened adults. On 9 December 2005, Andrew (Shrek) Adamson’s live-action film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will be released by Disney, and it is already being hailed as the biggest film franchise of all time, guaranteed to appeal to adults and children across the globe. The second film is already in development. Sporting breathtaking new photographic covers, these new adult editions of the seven Chronicles of Narnia now give everyone an opportunity to experience the adventures in their original form. Re-live your childhood fantasies or discover for the first time what everyone will be talking about by Christmas and savour some of the best-loved stories ever written.

this is a adventure book . The character I like the most is Lucy the youngest sister out of the 4. I like her the most because she is the first to discover Narnia and met the faun Mr Tumnus who she met when she walked into Narnia for the first time.I like that it is set in world war two and the children get sent away to the country.

I loved this book because there were talking animals. The lion is called Aslan. He's the hero of the book because he saves everyone from the white witch.

It is amazing that it has animals that can talk. I also really like it as it has so many mythical creatures like minotaur and goblins as well as dwarfs. My favourite character is Lucy Pevensie as she is kind. I would defiantly recommend it to everyone.
Dona Venus Paddington 18.07.2020
My favourite character was Aslan the lion. I found each chapter got more tense. I loved the idea that a normal wardrobe was a secret way into the land of Narnia.
Captain Pug Banana 03.07.2020
I loved this book. My favourite character was Asian, but I also liked Lucy. I’m glad that Allan killed the witch in the end!
Princess Boadicea Peanut-butter 27.06.2020
I liked it because it was exciting. My favourite character was Lucy, I felt I could be friends with her.
Queen Beany Spaceship 26.06.2020
I thought this was a great book to read. The starting could with a bit more detail. Throughout the book it did get better and better. My highlight out of this book would have to be when Lucy discovered the secret world hidden behind a wardrobe. I would recommend this book to ages form 9 to 17.

You should read this book because it's a little scary but in the end, everything is okay.
