The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Chronicles of Narnia

Content Ratings

No Romance

There is no romantic content; relationships are built entirely on family loyalty, friendship, and loyalty to Aslan.

Mild Themes

The story involves betrayal by a sibling, the death and resurrection of a beloved figure, and the courage required to stand against evil; themes are morally clear and ultimately hopeful.

Mild Violence

The novel features a battle between Aslan's forces and the White Witch's army; Aslan is killed on the Stone Table and resurrected; violence is fantastical and emotionally significant but age-appropriate in its depiction.

Synopsis

Four siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy—step through a wardrobe and into the magical land of Narnia, where an eternal winter has been imposed by the White Witch, and they discover they have a part to play in an ancient prophecy involving the great lion Aslan. A beloved classic blending Christian allegory with high fantasy adventure, brimming with wonder, courage, and sacrifice. The foundational book of the Chronicles of Narnia.
