Summary: Digory Kirke never expected to touch a ring and be transported to another world. Edmund Pevensie never planned on crawling through a wardrobe into a snowy forest. And Eustace Scrubb certainly never wanted to fall through a painting into an ocean. But they all did. And all of these children found themselves called to the world of Narnia by the great lion, Aslan himself, to fight for the country and its people.
Notes from The Radical Reader:
- Noble Characters: The Chronicles of Narnia have long been the favorite tales of many children since their publication decades ago. From heroes like High King Peter the Magnificent to Eustace Clarence Scrubb and Jill Pole, readers have been enamored by Edmund’s journey from traitor to king, Eustace’s saga from boy to dragon, Aslan’s resurrection from death to life, and numerous other adventures!
- Captivating Plots: Traitors, dragons, stone creatures, and heroic battles cover the pages of these epic adventures. These stories are the perfect mix of intensity and drama, without being gory or gruesome. Excellent for reading aloud, these stories are incredible for any age!
- Elaborate Worlds: The land of Narnia, Cair Paravel, Archenland, Calormen – all of these castles and foreign lands are richly woven into the pages of The Chronicles of Narnia. C. S. Lewis, a beloved fiction and nonfiction author, has seamlessly woven plot and world together into seven epic tales set in the distant land of Narnia. Readers of all ages will love this series!
