The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (The Chronicles of Narnia #2) by C.S. Lewis
Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy find their way through an old wardrobe into the world of Narnia. There, they unite with Aslan to fight the White Witch and save Narnia from perpetual Darkness.
Three siblings discover a magical land and then come to find that it is their destiny to save it.
I can vividly picture the scenes in this book. I mean, I have seen the movie, so maybe that was why- but I'm gonna say that it was because of how descriptive it was.There is something so magical about discovering an entirely new world within the confines of a house. I don't think that walking into that wardrobe will ever be anything short of amazing for me!The overall allegory in this story is so well written- there is no room for confusion and it is so easily understood in the mind of a child. I mean... it's really pretty cool. For instance- turkish delight is so good, it's sinful. See what I did there? I couldn't help myself. Edmond has a taste of turkish delight and that is soon all he can think about. It becomes an unquenchable desire to have more turkish delight regardless of the EXTREME consequences it would take to acquire more.
Edmond sucks so badly. I mean, wow- he is AWFUL. I should mention that he isn't inherently sucky- his siblings (or maybe the narrator) mention that he went away to boarding school and came back with this level of suckage. He is a genuine unkind soul and I just got so irritated reading about him!There is a scene featuring Aslan and Edmond and that scene was perfectly awkward in every way.I think that Peter is portrayed as mean to Edmond. And I didn't really like that! Not that Peter was mean, but that he came across that way. Because seriously, Peter said everything I wanted to say to Edmond.Again, just as in The Magician's Nephew, the sexism in this book was off putting for me. Just so many constant insults about girls.Overall, I thought I was going to like this book more. I discovered when reading my copy, that I had actually read the book in college but I hadn't remembered that at all! So there are a few reasons that perhaps I didn't like it as much- being a kids book and a reread, and having already seen the movie. But I will say, that that has not stopped my love from blooming in the past.Also, you know when it snows and everything is a beautiful winter wonderland and people all around you make references to Narnia? I just want to point out that when Narnia was in this perpetual state of winter, it was being ruled by a dark and evil queen. (Did I just make it obvious that I don't like winter?)
