The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
By C. S. Lewis

It tells the story of four siblings that are sent by their parents to a tutor during the war in order to be away from all the atrocities the war brings.

Their tutor's house is very big and on the rainy days the children play inside the house. One day, while playing hide-and-seek, the youngest siblings, Lucy, found an old wardrobe that wad actually a portal to a fairy tale country, named Narnia, which contains numerous mythical and fantastic creatures. Another sibling, Edmund, found the world too, before the others did, but lied and said that he has never heard about a country like that but he said those things because he met the White Witch in his short trip, who is also a wicked witch and bewitched him. He had to bring all his siblings to her because they are sons and daughters of Adam and Eve, and she has to destroy them in order to rule over Narnia.

The children encountered in Narnia different mythical creatures from different cultures of the world, including Greek, with the faun, and Norse, and many more. They also encountered highly antropomorphized animals like the Beavers, and the great Lion, Aslan, and not only. The siblings' role in Narnia is to save the country from the wicked witch and to fulfill the prophechy that was written for them.

At a first glance into the story it might look that the story is about the Witch and how to destroy her but it is actually more about the trachery someone commits. By betraying his family, Edmund has to face the moral consequences of the crime, he must suffer for his sins. If we take this interpretation, the Witch is only a machinery built to carry the moral law, just as Satan has to punish the sinners. The eating of the Turkish Delight from the White Witch by Edmund may be seen just as the Initial Sin, the eating of the forbidden fruit by Eve which followed great consequences.

In order to save Edmund from being killed by the Witch for his sins, Aslan takes Edmund's place. Aslan's sacrification may represent Christ's sacrification for humanity, his crucifixation. But as Christ, Aslan knows what he has to do and accepts his sacrification whitout hesitation: " [...] when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's dead [...] Death itself would start working backwards."

There are also some differences between Aslan's sacrifice and Christ's crucifixation, while Aslan sacrifices for Edmund, Christ sacrifices himself for everyone in the world. But there are also some similarities, for example, just as Christ, Aslan is humiliated before being killed.
