So you think this is a "story for children?" Think again. It can awaken your spirits as you read about the adventures of four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, as they go into a wardrobe only to find the new world, Narnia. They are staying with an older professor outside of London during WWII.

The story is a big part of Patti Callahan's book, "Once Upon A Wardrobe" where an 8 year old boy, George, wants to know where Narnia came from. He has just read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and asks his older sister, Megs, to inquire from the famous professor and author at Oxford, CS Lewis, to get the scoop. He figures she can do this for him as that's where she attends college. The young brother has cancer and she agrees as she loves him dearly. Both books are highly recommended but it helps to read "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" first. It's a super easy read and may also be enjoyed by the young ones.

Enjoy the ride.
