The Last Battle (Chronicles of Narnia, #7)
by

“All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”
——————————————
In the final days of Narnia, many of the Narnians have been deceived by a false prophet, an evil ape named Shift, who devises a plot to turn the people and animals against Aslan, the Great Lion. Eustace and Jill arrive in Narnia in response to King Tirian’s prayer for help. Jill and Eustace help Tirian and Jewel, the talking unicorn, and display much bravery and courage, but ultimately they are outnumbered.
Shift the ape summons the demon Tash to Narnia. Those who worship Tash intend to make human sacrifices of King Tirian and his helpers. Instead, a door is opened to Aslan’s world. Those who love Aslan are ushered in immediately into Aslan’s world to forever live in his presence in a world without fear, pain, or sorrow. A world of beauty and abundance, youth, health, goodness, and love.
The Chronicles of Narnia can be read on many levels, as there are many Biblical allegories to explore. Yet, first and foremost, the Narnia novels are meant to be enjoyed for the highly imaginative, adventuresome fantasies they are. So magical, mystical and fun, Narnia is a world not to be missed.

“And as He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”

“They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison; and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out.”

“I wish she would grow up. She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. He whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one's life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can.”

“I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now. The reason why we loved the old Narnia is that it sometimes looked a little like this.”

“The Dogs were still with them. They joined in the conversation but not very much because they were too busy racing on ahead and racing back and rushing off to sniff at smells in the grass till they made themselves sneeze. Suddenly they picked up a scent which seemed to excite them very much. They all started arguing about it — “Yes it is — No it isn’t — That’s just what I said — anyone can smell what that is — Take your great nose out of the way and let someone else smell.”

There's a reason why The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is one of the ten most bestselling books of all time.
Yes, I agree, Luffy. It’s a very creative world, holds up to many readings, and can be read on many levels. I just got a set of used like new HarperTrophy paperback color edition. Love it! And I love the different audiobook editions also!
