The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a fantasy novel for children by [[C.S. Lewis]]. It was the first of The [[Chronicles of Narnia]] to be written, in 1950, and is the best known. [[The Magician's Nephew]] is thus a "prequel".
'''Quotes'''* The story takes inspiration from the [[Quotes from The LionGospel]] themes of betrayal, death, [[resurrection]] and [[redemption]]. There is a nod in the Witch and direction of the [[Trinity]] concept, with Aslan in the Wardrobe (book)[[Christ]]* -role and a passing reference to the "Emperor over Sea" as [[Quotes about God the Father]]. The Lionchildren form a disciple-group around Aslan, with Edmund as Judas and Peter the Witch and High King as the Wardrobe (book)[[apostle Peter]]. The two girls also follow Biblical precedent through being first to see the resurrected Aslan. The book is not intended to be a re-telling of Biblical stories in another form; it simply borrows ideas from them so as to illustrate basic conceptions of Christianity.
