A classic for Easter

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis


Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice. [Description from Goodreads.com]

This is one of those classics that everyone should read at least once. There is a very good reason that it has rarely (if ever) gone out of print since it was published in 1950. It will stick with you long after you have finished reading it.

What many people have not realised while reading it, is that it can be considered an allegory (a symbolic retelling) of the Crucifixion.

Read it for yourself and see if you agree!
