The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Author: CS Lewis): During the Second World War, four siblings are sent to a country home to escape the bombings in London. Little do they know, a whole new adventure awaits them, hidden behind an enchanted wardrobe. This childhood gem, and the corresponding books in the series, have sparked sweeping film adaptations, but nothing comes quite close to the magic of CS Lewis’ imagery, unravelling through his prose. The book also draws parallels to these present times: Four kids, stuck indoors who use their vivid imagination to set off on an adventure into the mystical land of Narnia, where the evil White Witch is at war with the magical lion, Aslan.
