"The Lion, the whitch, and Wardrobe"

Lewis, C. S. (1950). The lion, the whitch, and the wardrobe. New York:HaperCollins Children's Books.

I really enjoyed this book. The story is about four children, Susan, Peter, Lucy, and Edmund. During World War II they are sent into the country for safety. While there they discover a magic wardrobe that leads them to the hidden realm of Narnia. After many adventures they becomes Kings and Queens of Narnia. I had actually read it before the movie came out, so I knew what to expect going in. I actually kind of dreaded watching the movie, as I was afraid the movie people would butcher it as they do so many adaptations. However, the movie was extremely close to the book. There were only one or two differences and the were very minor and unimportant. I think the movies was an excellent adaptation of the book, and they go really well together.
