A great deception threatens to destroy Narnia. The good King Tirian struggles against a tide of evil characters, including an ape, a cat, and a military commander. The children once again find themselves called to Narnia at its most desperate hour.
The final scenes are some of the greatest in all English literature. As Aslan brings Narnia to a close, he becomes a doorway to a new and better Narnia that alludes to the new heavens and earth of the Bible, and Plato’s perfect forms and realities.
This is a scary, stunningly beautiful, and unforgettable read.
C.S. Lewis combines myth, Arthurian romance literature, journey, and Christian allegory, deepening readers’ understanding of what is real, true, good, and beautiful.
