This review is from: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia, Book 1) (Paperback)

When I first read this in the late 60's it was relatively new
in America. I was astonished that the moralist Christian
who wrote such bad ( Luddist) sci fi wrote such excellent fantasy
for children. The symbolism of Aslan giving his life for the sin of Edmund
is seen by many as the Christian aspect.
There is also a 'divine right of kings' symbolism built into the plot?
It is a fairytale with talking animals
and mythical beasts about good brave little girls who tell the truth
and their wrong headed brothers.
I think we should all be reminded what noble ideal are and how to behave well in unexpected situations.
I still love this book!
