4 Reasons Why The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is a Good Book

SmartbooksMay 2, 20222 min read

Why is The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe a good book?

To help you draw lessons from the book The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, we asked writers and parents this question for their best opinions. From being full of adventure and imagination to teaching a good lesson on making choices, there are a number of reasons why The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is a good book to read with your family.

Here are four reasons why The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is a good book:

  • It’s Full of Adventure and Imagination
  • It Teaches Hard Truths About Life in a Beautiful Way.
  • It Helps Reflect On Our Inner Conflicts
  • It Teaches a Good Lesson on Making Choices

It’s Full of Adventure and Imagination

The fact that the book is a fantasy and is about an adventure is what makes it a good book. The way the characters are made and portrayed, as well as the settings of the tale, allows the reader’s imagination to go wild. This makes it fully engaging and a good book to read. It also has great life lessons like how you can’t correct a bad doing with another bad doing. All of these combined make it enjoyable and fun to read, especially for children.

It Teaches Hard Truths About Life in a Beautiful Way

The reality in “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” isn’t just a fairytale world; it’s full of lies, troubles, and wickedness. But – all of those tricky things are involved in a captivating story, and they end happily so that the reader finishes the book with a sense of hope. “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” is a good book because it shows the dark sides of reality, but in a pleasant way.

It Helps Reflect On Our Inner Conflicts

The magic of this book isn’t merely the story of an epic quest, rather the reader’s own personal discovery through the lens of its protagonists in a fantasy parallel universe. What at first feels to be the stuff of brain candy with dynamic and delightful personas like Mr. Tumnas, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, and of course the Pevensie siblings becomes a transportive device for readers to inwardly journey and challenge our own darkest corners without the indictment of siding with the cold and heartless Jadis the White Witch. 

C.S. Lewis was a prolific author and teacher whose writing style provokes individual reflection without condescension; whose art transcends one-dimensional concepts of philosophy and dogma through this wholly satisfying adventurous allegory for all ages.

It Teaches a Good Lesson on Making Choices

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe shows that there are clear lines between good and evil, but that doesn’t mean you’re lost if you make a bad choice. When Edmund betrays his siblings to the White Witch for the promise of sweets, it’s clear he’s made a selfish decision that leads to the suffering of his family. But that doesn’t mean Edmund has lost all chance for redemption. In fact, by his selfless efforts to do right by his siblings, he becomes one of the greatest heroes by the end.
