The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

Although this is a childrens' book and full of the imagery of fairy stories, CS Lewis must have been smoking something when he wrote it. People have read biblical connotations into these stories for years and I guess Aslan in resurrected at one point but I think I'd have to read all the Chronicals of Narnia to see it.

In any case the story is well known to everyone. I used t watch the cartoon version at Christmas when I was a kid. The recent live action story is slightly more detailed than the book itself (the cartoon is much closer to the original), but at the end of the day it's a children's book and not shouldn't be considered anything else.

He was definately on something when he wrote it though. I'm surprised there's not more references to Alsan calling everyone Dude.
