PThe Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis is one of the great novels of the twentieth century. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is a fantasy novel that is a children's novel. It is featured in the TIME 100 best English language novels from 1923 to the present day and it is easy to see why when reading this excellent novel! It was originally published in 1950 and I absolutely loved this book, it is 208 pages and so is a decent length. I really would recommend this novel especially if you have read other C.S. Lewis books and read them.

The novel is about a four children called Peter Susan, Edmund and lucy who are forced to leave their home in London. They have to move to a house in the countryside with a rather strange professeur. The children find nothing to do and become easily bored until one day when they go up to the attic and find a secret wardrobe. Little do they know that this wardrobe is the way into the wolrd of Narnia which is a magical and wonderful world full of different creatures, some bad some good. However, the White Witch is in power and it is always winter in Narnia as a result. It is up to them to find their way back home and save the wonderful world of Narnia once again.

I really found the story to be fascinating and I really did find it very interesting to watch throughout. It is a superb novel that is written beautifully and is full of description that is essential with a book of this type. I would really recommend this book as a present for children because they would I'm sure love it. I hope this was useful and thank you very much fo reading!

Summary: This is a brilliant novel that shows C.S. Lewis at his best, well recommended!
