Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe
Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe | C.S. Lewis
20 posts | 89 read | 4 to read
When this adaptation of C. S. Lewiss classic childrens story opened at the RSC Stratford in November 1998, it received rave reviews and broke box office records. Four children are evacuated from London during the Blitz. While exploring the Professors house, they stumble across the gateway to another world, and the adventure begins. The land of Narnia is under the spell of the wicked White Witch, and the four very quickly find themselves caught up in a deadly struggle between good and evil.

My son and I are reading a chapter a day! This and audio are the only reading I‘m getting in and I feel bad about it. Hoping to spend some time snuggled up with the kiddo and a book tomorrow!

A lovely reread, again. I still feel betrayed... that Turkish Delight is actually horrible! In my head it was like the strawberry flavoured filling in boxes of chocolate.

jmofo You know, I like Turkish Delight and I don‘t know that I‘d like it as much if I hadn‘t read this book as a kiddo. 5y

This is another of my favorite series. I‘m old enough I read them in the order they were written & not the new order, that‘s based on chronological order of Time in Narnia. Someday I need to re- read them in this newer order!!! I have my Gma‘s wardrobe, I‘m still hoping to get to Narnia through there some day!!

Daisey Great series! I always recommend readers start with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. 5y
tpixie @Daisey 😊 that was my first!!! 5y
LeahBergen I reread them in the new order. 👍🏻 5y
tpixie @LeahBergen fun!!!!! I‘ll need to do that!!! 5y

I had to post my #bookishtotes because I love them so much! 🙌🏼 #readingresolutions #botm

BethM I adore the fairy tales one! 7y
Reviewsbylola Lol the one about spending money on books is spot on. 💸 7y
LitLogophile I love it, too! It‘s from the dedication in The Chronicles of Narnia: “My Dear Lucy, I wrote this story for you, but when I began I did not realize that little girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairytales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But someday you will be old enough to start reading fairytales again...” @BethM 😊 7y
SilversReviews LOVE your totes. 7y

While C.S. Lewis and Philip Pullman had their own beliefs, if and as a topic brought up behind the stories; I'm interested in books simply being magically unique when newly discovered. - I've yet to read Narnia, but did see and enjoy this film, with Tilda Swinton awesomely as the witch. 🤘#bannedbooks

readinginthedark They're so good! I read them as a child and didn't pick up on a lot of the spiritual overtones until later, but I still think they're worth a read. Start with The Magician's Nephew if you want some background on the White Witch! 8y
Dan_SpiderCrafts @readinginthedark Thanks and will do! I really enjoyed Tilda's take and style on the White Witch. 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk All-time favorites, enjoyable with or without religious subtext. 8y

Mehso-so

A re-read, and I still find myself ambivalent towards it. I found the whole book underdeveloped - characters, plot, back-story - and didn't connect.

Gezemice Same here - I read it because it is a classic and decided I really don't want to read the rest of the books. It is just meh. I saw no point in it. 8y

The biggest #eatmetryme moment in a book was when Edmond goes all piggy for Turkish delight... And then I tried it myself and was pretty much confused and offended 😂 #novemberland. Since I'm thinking of Narnia, the last book in this series was totally a #threwitacrosstheroom (I felt so betrayed that I felt he sacrificed the story for the moral!) though the short story (wasn't it by Gaiman?) sort of brought it home for me. #photoadaynov16

Larkken Also if imma gonna go all over cheating, it always seemed like an awful lot of these books happened on trains... 😅 8y
Linsy I was so disappointed when I finally tried Turkish delight! I was like, come on Edmund, it's not worth it! Now, maybe if he'd been offered an éclair ... 8y

"One day, you will be old enough to start reading fairytales again."

#Bestkids for #octphotochallenge goes to the Pevensie siblings. The kids who first helped me to fall in love with reading, especially Edmund.

Really bummed that I did not get to participate in the #readathon today. I am really enjoying everyone's updates!!

samwinchester90 Finally read this earlier in the summer. Sacrilege to say I liked the movie more? 8y
tpixie Well. Maybe if you had read it as a kid. Things were simpler then. Movies have such action and visual stimulation. 8y

Can you spot all the cool 1st editions? Atlantis Bookstore in Santorini Greece lived up to the hype & made the nerd in me very excited! :)
