Then underneath it all they reveal something spectacular: they reveal fantasy. Authors like C.S Lewis and J.K Rowling show us this miserable world they show us its tones of grey. We paint pictures and gaze up at the stars. We watch movies or go to the theatre to see something more interesting than the standard realities of the everyday. So humans create fantasy as a means of escape. The real world is boring it’s mundane, unimaginative and dry.

Tumnus to the White Queen - just tie this story together. Narnia! It's all in the wardrobe just like I told you!Ĭould you imagine a more magical world? I've watched the movie as a kid but reading the book? It's 110% better. After a fair amount of convincing, she and her three siblings set out to explore and are soon whisked into the land of Narnia.

Truth be told, I've read books written this year that have ten times the sexism this one does.Īlso, I'd like to make it clear that this is the FIRST book of the Narnia Chronicles. And in my opinion, it only needs a little slack. But honestly, this book was written 60 years ago, and you need to cut it a little slack because of that.
