The end and a new beginning

The kids and I finished up The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe last night.  Tyson started reading it with them, but I have had bedtime charge the past week, so I got to finish it up.  I had forgotten how much symbolism and allusion is contained therein.  Wow.  I loved the thought processes involved - I usually have somewhat of a dread for the tale - not because it I think dislike the storyline, its just that I know what happens and it's the anticipation leading up to Aslan's sacrifice that gets me.  But I think that has been resolved now.  I loved the imagery and the joy that followed Lewis' tactful and simple depiction. 

Now on to "The Horse and His Boy".  Wish us luck!
