The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Book 1 of the The Chronicles of Narnia series
During wartime evacuation, siblings Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy discover that an old wardrobe opens into the snowbound land of Narnia. The White Witch has kept the country in endless winter, while the return of the great lion Aslan signals that her rule may finally be challenged. Betrayal divides the children before sacrifice, forgiveness, and courage draw them into Narnia's struggle. Clear, swift, and full of memorable wonder, this portal fantasy is especially inviting for a snowy family read or anyone longing for secret doors, talking animals, and the first signs of spring.
