As
a child, have you ever imagined a box as a cave or blankets and
chairs as a fort? Well, we can say we have done those things. The
Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is about siblings that go into a
wardrobe, and they find themselves in the wonderful world of Narnia. Just like the title says, it all started with hide and seek. If Lucy did not hide in the wardrobe during the game, the siblings would have not found Narnia.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a fantasy because it has a lot of magic in it. The White Witch throughout the story is turning animals and magical creatures into stone. Have you ever heard of animals talking? Well in this book, all of the animals talk.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe starts during World War II. Four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, have to be separated from their mother because of the war. They are sent to live with Professor Kirke. When they were playing hide and seek, Lucy hides in an old wardrobe. When she steps inside the wardrobe, she finds herself in a winter wonderland. She meets a mysterious creature. She finds out that the creature is a faun named Tumnus. He tells her she is in the land called Narnia. He tells her over tea that he is a reluctant servant of the White Witch who has cursed Narnia with a never ending winter with no Christmas. When Lucy comes back from Narnia, none of her siblings believe her. When Lucy enters Narnia again, Edmund follows her. He meets the White Witch who makes a deal with him for food. Edmund and Lucy return from Narnia. Lucy believes that Edmund will help her show that Narnia is real, but Edmund denies it out of spite. All four of them eventually end up in Narnia. They meet Mr. Beaver who brings them to his house and tells them the story of Aslan. Edmund leaves the house to tell the White White that his siblings are in Narnia. When they discover where Edmund has gone, they quickly leave to meet Aslan at the Stone Table because they know the White Witch is coming for them. They meet Father Christmas on the way to the Stone Table, and he gives them each a gift. When they meet Aslan, he promises to save Edmund. Edmund is saved before the White Witch can kill him. The White Witch demands that she can kill Edmund because he is a traitor. Aslan makes a deal with the White Witch. He is going to take Edmund's place. After the White Witch kills Aslan, she starts a war with Peter's army. Aslan is reborn. Aslan then kills the White Witch and Peter's army defeats her followers. Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are crowned the Kings and Queens of Narnia. They rule Narnia until they are adults. On a hunting trip, they find themselves going back through the wardrobe and back in England once again.

The
Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was written by C.S. (Clive Staples)
Lewis. This book is a fantasy and also a novel. It was written in
1950 in England. The narrator of this story is anonymous. This story
is written in the eyes of a child. The point of view of this story is
third person. The narrator is omniscient and knows all about the
characters. Wouldn't you like to know all about different people you
come in contact with? We sure would. There is a relaxed tone in this
novel. World War II is the setting or time, and England and Narnia is
the setting or place. Aslan is the protagonist, and the White Witch
is the antagonist. Have you ever got into a major conflict? Well just
like you, this story has a major conflict. This conflict is Aslan,
who is good, defending Narnia against the White Witch, who is
evil. There are two major themes in this fantasy. They are redemption
and rebirth.
We believe that this would be a wonderful book for children. This book gets children's imagination flowing. You could have your children read the book and watch the movie. The children can then write about the similarities and differences between the two.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as a child. I would recommend doing that activity for grades four and five. This book will increase a child's imagination to a higher level. I would also think having the children create their own script to act out would be a great activity for the children to do.
