The Complete Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

Lewis said frequently, in essays and letters, that he did not intend the stories to be allegories and did not regard them as such. And they appeal, at least to some readers, because of their connections with Christianity. The stories also appeal widely because of their mythical qualities-the way they deal with the marvelous and supernatural, exploring basic issues of existence, such as origins, endings, meaning, and purpose. Living, through the imagination, in the idyllic, pastoral Narnia is part of the appeal of the stories for children and adults. The other six books recount further adventures in Narnia and develop Lewis’s fantasy world, which is full of detail and atmosphere, populated with animals (such as beavers, mice, and wolves), creatures from Germanic and classical mythology (giants, dwarfs, centaurs, unicorns, fauns, dryads, and numerous others), made-up beings such as the one-footed Dufflepuds (or Duffers) and the tall, web-footed Marsh-wiggles, and children visiting from their everyday world. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe the young Lucy goes through the back of a wardrobe into Narnia, an imaginary land ruled by a tyrannical White Witch who has made it, as one character explains, “lways winter and never Christmas.” When Lucy returns to Narnia with her three siblings, they help the great lion Aslan (the form in which the Son of God usually appears in Narnia) defeat the White Witch and free Narnia from her power.
