“It was softer and more lilting than the song by which he had called up the stars and the sun; a gentle, rippling music. And as he walked and sang the valley grew green with grass. It spread out from the Lion like a pool. It ran up the sides of the little hills like a wave. In a few minutes it was creeping up the lower slopes of the distant mountains, making that young world every moment softer. The light wind could now be heard ruffling the grass. Soon there were other things besides grass. The... higher slopes grew dark with heather. Patches of rougher and more bristling green appeared in the valley. Digory did not know what they were until one began coming up quite close to him. It was a little, spiky thing that threw out dozens of arms and covered these arms with green and grew larger at the rate of about an inch every two seconds. There were dozens of these things all round him now. When they were nearly as tall as himself he saw what they were. “Trees!” he exclaimed.
The nuisance of it, as Polly said afterward, was that you weren’t left in peace to watch it all.MoreLessRead More Read Less

This is my favorite book out of the whole series!! I love knowing the history of the wardrobe! Digory and Polly are great and Lewis does a great job making this come to life and be entertaining for children!

I can only imagine how our "Narnia"(Heaven) is & what our reaction will be when "Aslan" (God/Jesus) welcomes us in.
