The Lion, The witch and the Wardrobe

Book • 1950
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a portal fantasy novel that follows the story of four English siblings - Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy - who are evacuated to the countryside during World War II. While exploring the large, old house of Professor Kirke, Lucy discovers a wardrobe that serves as a portal to the land of Narnia.

In Narnia, they encounter various magical creatures and the evil White Witch, who has cast a spell to keep Narnia in perpetual winter.

The siblings soon learn that they are part of an ancient prophecy to save Narnia, aided by the lion Aslan.

The story is an allegory of Christianity, with Aslan's sacrifice and resurrection mirroring the story of Jesus Christ.

The novel also incorporates elements from Germanic, classical Greek and Roman, and Celtic mythology.
