A brilliant book and one of my top 10 favourite books growing up. I enjoyed the storyline and the different characters. The author of this book has written the best book series for children to read.

03 Sep 2026

Favourite characters were Aslan and Lucy, enjoyed when the mice nibbled the ropes. It’s scary when they cut his fur off and he would have just look like a cat with whiskars.
Also like Mr Tumnus.

It’s quite dramatic.

This was my bedtime story reading with my mum, its her favourite story and mine too.

22 Jul 2026

I really like the adventure and fantasy. I like the villains and quirky creatures.

Lucy and Tumnus the faun, because they were very kind and brave. I loved Aslan coming back to life. I loved Peter and Edmund being knights on horses. The White Witch was horrible, but I would like to try Turkish Delight.

I really recommend this book and I can’t wait to read the other Narnia books.

A timeless classic that combines adventure, imagination and powerful themes of courage, forgiveness and friendship. C. S. Lewis creates a magical world that appeals to readers of all ages while encouraging thoughtful discussion about choices, leadership and hope. I would especially recommend it to readers aged 8–12 and anyone who enjoys fantasy or wants to explore one of the greatest classics of British children’s literature.

This book was OK. It was fun, mythical and slightly gory.

01 Sep 2025

The book kept me guessing as it moved through the story. I loved the exciting and mystery characters and the description of Narnia made me feel like I was there. I would really recommend it to others.

I liked it because I like when Edmund met the white witch in Narnia. I LOVE Aslan and was so excited when he came into the book

16 Jul 2025

It was really good because you get to see a big battle. My favourite part was when Peter fought the wolf.

02 Sep 2024

Some of the language was a bit old fashioned but it was okay because I had seen the movie already.

08 Aug 2024

The witch turned the world into winter and Aslan turned it back to Spring with the help of 4 children.

I like The lion the witch and the wardrobe because it was very exciting and the characters were very brave.I like the fact that the children have met Santa, a Faun,a talking beaver and a lion who was king of Narnia he comes and goes a lot.I like the lion because when he dies he comes to life again.

This is the first novel I can remember my father reading to me as I lay snuggled up in bed and here I am, many years later, still captivated by the story. This timeless tale of love and redemption sweeps me away and I would recommend it to everyone who loves stories of adventure, friendship and the triumph of good over evil.

I would recommend this book to everybody.

The book is fiction. I like Lucy the best because she found Narnia first. It interests me because sometimes you really want to know what happens next. I would recommend 7 or 8.
