Hello everybody next month will be the third anniversary.I'm really excited for it I hope you all are too.Anyway while cleaning some of my old stuuf I found a book that I read about six years ago.
It is one of my first real book that I properly read and for old time sake I decided to reread it .The book is written by C S Lewis it was published in 1950 and is the second book of the Narnia series eventhough it is the first book he wrote for the series.It is one of the most famous children book that have ever been written.
The High and Low
.Beautiful illustration
.Has a sweet charming story filled with nice characters
.The ending felt somewhat lacking
Quick Summay
Peter.Susan,Edmund and Lucy Pevensie are evacuated from London during World War 2.They are sent away to live with a professor named Digory Kirke.(If you read the Magician's Nephew first you might know him)at the countryside.They all are very excited to play outside unfortunately it rains so they decided to play hide and seek in the mansion instead.Lucy quickly enters a room which only contains a beautifully carved wardrobe.She quicky enters it hoping Edmund wouldn't find her but as she step into the wardrobe she finds herself in field filled with snow.there she befriends a faun named Tumnus.Who at first wants to capture her but has a change of heart because of her kindness.He quickly warns her about the wicked white witch................That's all I'm going to write.
The Conclusion
Opening the book old memories quickly came over me.To be truthful I remembered most of the story thanks to the (not so great)movie and how many times I read it when I was younger but like most good book it is a pleasure to reread it once again.The story feels charming and nostalgic compared to mordern children fantasy story.The characters are nice and pleasant its what you expect at a sweet fantasy story.The illustration also brings a great sentimental feeling that you rarely get.The biggest complain I have was the ending it felt somewhat lacking and I was never truly satisfied on how Susan never used her magic horn in this book.However I have to say The Lion,The Witch and The Wardrobe is a great children fantasy book that can be enjoyed by any ages who's looking for a more simple yet sweet book.
