This book in The Chronicles of Narnia series is produced to celebrate the original first edition published in 1950. The covers and content have been carefully re-created, with text and images taken directly from the early printings. The books in this series will enable you to enjoy the Narnia experience as it was originally presented. (front flap)
"Cool premise (a worldrobe!), but everything resolves awfully suddenly. Not to mention the human-worship, and ... 'He's not the Messiah, he's a very scary lion!'
I happened to rather enjoy this book as a child, despite being an atheist. Sure, it has some flaws (especially in the later books if I recall), and it has a lot of very obvious references to religion, but I genuinely don't get people who need books and their authors to agree with them on every single point. What's the point of hopping into other worlds if they only resemble what you personally think the world is like? Go read a nonfiction book if that's what you want.
