This Christmas, journey to Narnia.  When the four Pevensie children are sent to the country to escape the bombings of WWII, little do they know what incredible adventures await. A magical wardrobe leads them into the magical world of Narnia, where the evil White Witch rules, keeping the land in a constant winter where Christmas never comes. With the sacrifice of the great lion, Aslan, the four Pevensies fight to banish the White Witch and break her hold over Narnia. Based on the book by C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is perfect for anyone searching for the grace and renewal that Christmas brings.
