It was cute to revisit a children’s classic that i haven’t read since elementary school.

I actually love the history of the witch, her cruelness, and her selfishness. I also liked the creation of Narnia and Aslan however, it’s very biblical ie creating Narnia in seven hours, calling Polly and Digory “son of Adam and daughter of Ev” and giving all the talking animals names. i wish CS Lewis had gone into more detail about Uncle Andrew and his great aunt from whom he inherited the magic box  from. How did she get it?

overall i enjoyed it and plan to reread the series.
