The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe – the first installment in the Chronicles of Narnia

I must admit, I’m tickled pink. C. S. Lewis’ fantasy novels, “The Chronicles of Narnia,” is coming to the movie theaters on December 9th. I’m a huge fan, having read the entire series of seven books to my children several times. With their clamoring for “just once more!”. It is a story about the magical land of Narnia, ruled by Aslan, the Great Lion. And how four young children from our world (named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy) come into that land via a magical Wardrobe to help rid Narnia of the evil White Witch. She has cast a spell of perpetual winter, but never Christmas, over the land.
