The opening book of CS Lewis’ sprawling fantasy epic is perhaps the best in the entire series.  I recall distinctly being captivated by its vivid world, well-written characters, and insightful links to the Christian religion that Lewis is so known for writing about.  Every child dreams of a land of fantasy, and Lewis brings it to life through the eternally winter land of Narnia.  The amazing lion Aslan, the evil White Witch, and Father Christmas all become a part of this great childhood novel that revolves around the eventual death and resurrection of Aslan.  It is truly a beautiful retelling of the crucifixion story, ripe with theological meaning and depth-filled insights into Lewis’ own spiritual life. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will undoubtedly touch everyone who reads it.
