This works however and makes The Last Battle flow the same as The Silver Chair. The kindly grandfather telling a bedtime story vibe is gone. Lewis doesn’t directly address the reader like he does in previous novels. The narrative techniques used in The Last Battle are the same as The Silver Chair. So The Last Battle had sort of a happy ending. Aslan allow the creatures who show loyalty to him to live in in Aslan’s country, the real Narnia. I thought the ending of The Last Battle was great. I felt very sorry for the donkey Puzzle who was led into the whole thing by Shift. This was a good thing because Lewis made me feel very real emotions. I actually shed a few years when Narnia is destroyed and Lewis reveals that Peter, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace and Jill died in their own world and are in Aslan’s world forever. HIGHLIGHTS: The Last Battle is a very sad book. King Trinian asks for help and is joined by Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole from The Silver Chair who determine to reveal the false Aslan and save Narnia. It doesn’t take long for Shift to order the talking animals into slavery with the neighbouring Calormenes and cut down talking tress to sell. PLOT SUMMARY: A dumb donkey called Puzzle allows his friend a snide ape called Shift to dress him up in the skin of a dead lion and pretend to be Aslan. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters and truths that speak to readers of all ages, even fifty years after they were first published… The books are presented according to Lewis’s preferred order, each chapter graced with illustrations by the books’ original artist, Pauline Baynes. This edition presents all seven unabridged books in one impressive volume. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a world where magic meets reality and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations. Six more books followed and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia.įor the past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures and epic battles between good and evil – what more could any reader ask for in one book? That book was The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, written in 1949 by C S Lewis.
