grown in the very spot he had placed the rings when he was just a child. When he moved from that house into his mansion, he cut the tree down and made a huge wardrobe and placed it in an empty room inside his house. The Pevensies soon became bored and decided to play a game of hide and seek. While playing this game the children had climbed into the wardrobe. This is where they entered Narnia. An important fact of Narnia is that its time is completely different from ours. A year may pass in this world, and a million has passed in Narnia. Its impossible to guess how much time has passed since a previous visit. Also, when you enter Narnia, you may be there for fifty years, and when you leave to come back to our world, no time would have passed. You come back at the same time, the

same hour, even down to the second as to which you left. Therefore, when the Pevens’ entered Narnia, more then a hundred years had passed since the time of Digory and Polly. The four children met Aslan and took part in an adventure to save Narnia from Jadis, the evil witch. After various trials and tribulations, the children saved Narnia and Aslan made them Kings and Queens of the land, the talking beasts, and all others who dwelled here. The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Silver Chair all deal with different adventures and different characters from our world who help to save Narnia time and time again. These four books allow the reader to see what has happened since the previous book and with each turn of a page, the reader sees the

future of Narnia unfold. These stories all lead up to the Seventh and final book of the series, The Last Battle. Two talking beasts devise a plan out of selfishness and conceit to try and make the future of Narnia go their way. This is where the reader meets Shift, an ugly ape, and Puzzle, a stupid donkey who listens to everything Shift says for he feels inferior to the ape and wants to please him at all times. Shift finds the skin of a lion and makes it into a costume for Puzzle. With the right lighting and the costume on, Puzzle somewhat resembles Aslan. Shift assembles the talking beasts at midnight and tells them that Aslan is among them. At this point, Puzzle shows himself, the talking beast, who have never met Aslan for he comes and goes as he pleases, bow down and listen

to his every command. Shift is only out to make money, he sells the free beasts of Narnia into slavery, cuts down the talking trees and plans to overthrow Narnia. All of those in Narnia fear Aslan for they know his power is not a force to be reckoned with, so, they have no choice but to obey. The current King of Narnia, Rilian, knows that there is something wrong, through all the stories of Aslan that he has ever heard, he knows Aslan would never do such horrid and unspeakable things. By calling Jill Pole and Eustace, two former heroes who were on a train in our world with their friends, other heroes of Narnia, he is able to put up a fight, a very small fight. The people of Narnia begin to turn on each other, causing great battles and many lives. The real Aslan shows up just in

time, but, instead of saving the world he has created, he destroys it and everything in it, except for those who have followed him and have proved their loyalty. All those who were spared, were brought to a different world, Aslan’s Country. A world with in a world, the mirror image of Narnia with the exception that everything is much bigger and has more beauty. A place where sadness does not exist, where getting tired is not an option. Due to a train accident in our world, Lucy, Edmund, Peter, Digory, Jill, Polly, and Eustace were all killed. Though they died in our world, their lives were just beginning in Aslan’s Country. Digory and Polly, who were eighty years old in our world, were now children again. All who were spared by the Great Lion, live now with him, in the true

world of Narnia, where animals talk, being happy is a must, and painful memories seize to exist. The Chronicles of Narnia are filled with dreams and a longing desire to partake in the adventures. C. S. Lewis had an unmistakable talent for writing. His books will be passed down for generations to come, leaving all those who read the Narnia books with a smile on their faces and high hopes that they to may one day arrive in Narnia and live a life full of beauty, adventure, love and respect.
