Almost 100 million people have read The Lira1, the Witch and the Wardrobe, in a publishing universe where most books sell less than 10,000 copies, according to the publishers. The book is credited with leading many people to know Jesus Christ and is a favorite among Christians, although many readers have said that they have not understood the book's clear Christological allusions. The great news is that the Disney movie, produced in conjunction with Walden Media, is not only very entertaining, but clearly retains the deeper truth and essence of C.S. Lewis's inspirational novel, the first of the seven books he wrote in his great Chronicles of Narnia fantasy series.
