Into the Wardrobe

     The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the first of seven books in the chronicles of

Narnia, written by C. S. Lewis. The Narnia Chronicles are undoubtedly the most popular works of

writer C.S. Lewis. Although they are recognized as children's fantasy novels, they are also

popular with students and adults, including many Christian theologians. In the Narnia Chronicles,

Lewis illustrates the biblical figure of Jesus Christ as the character of Aslan the lion, retelling

     As Lewis writes about the land of Narnia, an imaginary world visited by children, the writer

believes that he had two obvious purposes :(1) to entertain the readers,  and (2) to suggest analogies

of the Christian faith. Lewis is successful at using fiction to open the readers' hearts to accepting

Christ as their Savior by first entertaining us, the audience, with a wonderful story. The writer feels

that the best way to do this was to present it in a fictional world, a world in which it would be easier

to accept. The audience grows to love Aslan and everything that he symbolizes. We begin to wish

for someone like Aslan in this world.

     The chronicles tell of the different adventures of English children as they visit the kingdom

of Narnia and fall in love wi...
