This is a summary about something that happened long ago when your grandfather's father was a child. "This is a book about something."
"The Chronicles of Narnia" is a classic set of books written by C. S. Lewis (29th of November 1898-22nd of November 1963). It starts off in London in the early 1900s, when a boy meets a girl over the garden wall.
Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer begin to spend their summer together exploring the rafters in their line of houses, and somehow end up in Digory's uncle Andrew Ketterly's lair, in the attic of his house. Andrew, rambling about myths and magic, offers Polly a ring from the table. And then she's gone. Poof. Digory then goes to rescue her, finding her in a place they call "The Wood Between Worlds", a forest with pools dotting the landscape that can transport them to other worlds within their own. Along the way home, they release a queen/witch (Jadis) from a kingdom that's already fallen, long before their world was created, and bring her back to London, where she wreaks havoc, causing the children to take action, and they drag her and a couple of stowaways, including Andrew, a cabby, and his horse. Attempting to return home, they end up in a brand new world, just in time to witness the birth of this new world: Narnia.
"All magic comes with a price", and in this book, it seems to hold true. The main theme it seems to focus on is mythology, such as Arthurian legend and biblical myths, as well as the story of Atlantis and creatures from Greek and Roman mythology.
"Things always work according to their nature." And as a student, It should be in my nature to procrastinate until the last second. But that is not the case this time. My favourite character in the book is Digory's Aunt Letty Ketterly, who stood up to Jadis (Witch) and was then thrown across the room and survived. I can't really write my favourite scene because I had two orders: Draft ready by Monday, and don't give away the ending. Maybe if you read the book, you can guess it.
My recommendation for this book is mythology/fantasy lovers. I don't think I'm qualified to recommend an age group because I myself read it in kindergarten.
I apologize for exceeding my word limit, and I'd like to thank you for your time.
