“You have a traitor there, Aslan,” said the Witch. Of course everyone present knew that she meant Edmund. But Edmund had got past thinking about himself after all he’d been through and after the talk he’d had that morning. He just went on looking at Aslan. It didn’t seem to matter what the Witch said.”

happy birthday, @h-alliwell ❤

Review: The Magician's Nephew-C.S Lewis

Digory and his new friend, Polly, know that Uncle Andrew is crazy. They’ve seen strange happenings in Andrew’s attic study and have even heard him scream on occasion. Neither Digory, nor the adventurous Polly, would dare to enter his study…on purpose, anyways. While traveling between the houses on their street through their attic hideout (on a venture to the said-to-be haunted house just on the other side of Digory’s), they happen to stumble into Uncle Andrew's study, accidentally. And after several deceitful tricks and lies and evil sneers, Polly and Digory find themselves on a magical trip to the Wood Between the Worlds; a holding place for portals to countless numbers of other worlds. And their adventure to the first new world–the desolate Char–begins an ageless battle in a yet-to-be-formed world which will continue for decades and centuries, until The Last Battle.

Review: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe-C.S Lewis

Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy… The Pevensie children, during the bombing raids in World War II era London, are sent away to the country to live with a secluded professor. While exploring, little Lucy steps into a wardrobe and into another world. And so begins a magical journey for the four siblings: one of which, being tempted by an enchanted sweet, sets off in search of an evil witch who calls herself queen, and is trapped and awaits utter peril and doom; the other three, being faithful until the end, set off on an epic journey across an icy wasteland in search of a promised savior and an end to the hundred-year curse, while also fulfilling an age old prophecy.

Review: The Last Battle-C.S Lewis

“So,” said the King, after a long silence, “Narnia is no more.” Those five words, to me, seem to be the most horrific words in all of Narnia. As I read them, my heart broke. For any true Narnia fan, hearing a proclamation of the world’s end should bring tears to your eyes. (I know it almost did me.) As the closing to the beloved children’s series by C.S Lewis, The Last Battle has done the series justice and yet, many who read it may find it to be a crime that it should have to end at all. This ending is the result of a deception by a self-righteous and self-wise ape named Shift, who, in hoping to bring more good and power to himself, ushers in an evil and a war which he has no control over and soon finds himself at the mercy of a god he didn’t believe in. For one final adventure, Eustace and Jill find themselves returned to Narnia to help the Last King of Narnia, the Last Believer in Aslan, the Last True Follower, for the Last Battle of Narnia.

Review: The Horse and His Boy-C.S Lewis

Shasta had never felt at place at his home in Calormene with his fisherman father. He had always had a strange fascination with and felt a calling to the far North. When he meets a strange Talking Horse named Breehy-hinny-brinny-hoohy-hah (“Bree” for short), he finally gets his chance to travel to that strange country to the North, where there are rumored Talking Beasts and a demon Lion. C.S Lewis enthusiasts label The Horse and His Boy (published fifth in the Chronicles of Narnia series) as third chronologically, but I find no basis for this order, after reading the story. The Horse and His Boy is one story that (it seems) can be read anytime after finishing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe with perfect understanding of what has/is happening. In fact, if you want to read the series chronologically, before finishing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, stop sometime in the middle of the chapter “The Hunting of the White Stag”, read The Horse and His Boy and then go finish The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, since chronologically this story takes place while High King Peter, Queen Susan, King Edmund and Queen Lucy are ruling during the Golden Age of Narnia, before returning to War Drobe in the land of Spare Oom in the Professor’s house.

Review-The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

During the bombing raids of World War II in England, four children (whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy) are sent to the countryside to live with a secluded professor. While playing hide-and-seek in the professor's enormous mansion, Lucy discovers a wardrobe hidden away in one of the many spare rooms. While hiding within it, she discovers a magical world, thus bringing her and her siblings into an adventure they will never forget. Based on the children’s classic by C.S Lewis, Walt Disney’s adaption of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a rarity among Hollywood adaptions; it does the original story the justice it deserves. While some may be quick to point out the few differences between the book and the film adaption, the changes are so slight, many won’t notice and those who do (like myself) will find that the film is still true to the story and that these changes only work to make Disney's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a classic in its own right.

Knowing Aslan

During an endless winter, his name brought hope. His roar terrified a cruel witch. His love led him to a cold stone table to save a foolish boy. He is the great Lion, Aslan. And his story is more real than you can imagine. Who is Aslan? You know, of course, if you’ve seen the movies or read the book that he is the magnificent Lion in C.S Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. But not everyone who meets Aslan picks up on who he really is. Perhaps you’re one of these people. You may have loved the story but missed the deeper significance of the Lion. If so, let me tell you a little bit more about Narnia and Aslan. Early in the story, four English children accidentally enter a parallel world—the antiquated kingdom of Narnia—through an enchanted wardrobe. When a Narnian beaver meets them and says he must lead them to Aslan, the very sound of the name gives the children extraordinary feelings: Peter suddenly felt brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delicious smell or some delightful strain of music had just floated by her. And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning and realize it’s the beginning of the holidays or the beginning of summer! The children learn that Aslan is actually the Lord and God of the Narnian world. When they meet him, they utterly adore him, and it’s easy to see why: The Lion is the very picture of love. Throughout all seven of Lewis’ books known as The Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan shows warm affection to them and to the creatures of the kingdom. He protects them, rescues them, fights for them, teaches them, weeps with them, plays with them, kisses them, laughs with them and even dies for them. It’s easy to love Aslan, and everyone in Narnia does.

Review: The Silver Chair-C.S Lewis

Eustace Scrubb and Jill—a girl whom he recently befriended—walk through a door and find themselves in Aslan’s country at the very edge of the world. Eustace returns to Narnia to find his friend, King Caspian X, as an old man haunted by the kidnapping of his only son and heir, Prince Rilian. He and Jill—along with the ever melancholic Puddleglum—are soon sent on a quest to find the stolen prince by following four simple Signs… If only Jill could remember them. Her insistence that she need not repeat them twice daily as Aslan commanded causes disruption and distraction throughout the journey. Having forgotten the signs, she is unable to alert her companions to danger when they meet the green Lady and her silent Knight. She is unable to realize when they pass through the ancient city of giants, and ultimately leads them all into great dangers only narrowly escaped. When I read for the first time The Magician’s Nephew, it was much easier to label my favorite Narnian adventure. But as I get nearer to the end of the series, I find that that is not so. The Silver Chair has found a special place in my heart due to its humorous situations and hilarious characters.

Review: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader-C.S Lewis

Edmund and Lucy (along with their reluctant brat of a cousin, Eustace) step through a painting and find themselves on the high seas, aboard the Dawn Treader, for one last feat: Locating the seven lost lords from the reign of Caspian IX and, in doing so, reach the very edge of the world. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the final adventure for the Pevensie children and the first for our new hero, Eustace Clarence Scrubb (a name which he almost deserved). Excluding The Magician's Nephew, this is the last book featuring these beloved characters and their exploits; Edmund and Lucy will pass their baton on to their younger cousin. Eustace will return two more times with Jill Pole, in The Silver Chair and The Last Battle. Many people do not like this “graduation” period of former characters, but in my opinion, C.S Lewis wrote the series as a mirror of our world by adding the characters out-growing their time in Narnia. In The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe, Lewis’ dedication to Lucy Barfield says, My dear Lucy,

I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand, a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C.S. LEWIS Many people outgrow the love for magical fairy-tales and make believe. In the same way, Aslan understands that the children will outgrow their love and belief in Narnia. He knows that they need to be given an opportunity to learn how to live in their own world. The Pevensies don’t understand, nor do they particularly like this decision (as many of the fans abhor this graduation) since they all would have rather stayed in Narnia.

Interview with Narnia Costume Designer, Isis Mussenden

RH: Tell us about the designing of the White Witch’s wardrobe. IM: The White Witch was the most challenging costume to design in the Narnia series. She was described one way in the book, but once Tilda Swinton was cast, we needed to adjust. Our wish was to maintain the essence of the White Witch, but to not force black hair and red lips on an actress that would make her look anything but regal. I had a very young and talented textile artist working for me, and together we experimented with different techniques to create the “Ice” inspired fabric and lace for her dress based on photographs of glacier cracking. Inspired by my then four year old son’s Pokemon cards…I came up with the concept of her evolving throughout the story. The last thing I wanted was for her to feel like she had a closet with clothing in it. (She was not human after all.) As she lost her powers and the ice melted, so did her silhouette and so did her ice crown. It was a long process and many people were involved with the costume.

Review-The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

If epic had a name, it would The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It’s been a year since Edmund and Lucy last visited the magical world of Narnia. Now, they are living with their aunt and uncle and cousin, whose name is Eustace Clarence Scrubb (and he almost deserves it), in Cambridge while Peter is studying in the English country with Professor Kirke, and Susan and their parents are traveling in America. Edmund, most of all, has felt the longing and the desperation to return to their kingdom; whether due to being tired of he, a king and great warrior, being treated as a child, or possibly simply being tired of having to deal with his cousin. So, when a magical painting in Lucy’s bedroom beckons them once again to Narnia (with Eustace unwillingly tagging along) and to return to their lives as High King and Queen, neither are all too disappointed. They find themselves having returned during a time when Caspian X is reigning as king and all bordering countries are at peace. So, why they should have returned during a time with no battles to fight and without any Narnian having summoned them is a question the Pevensies would like to have answered and they find that it will be soon.
