The Quill #4: Recommended Reads 6

During World War II, in the English countryside, in the house of Kirke, through the spare room’s wardrobe, you’ll find the gateway —  entrance to a fantastical, wintery, glistening, snowy-white town called Narnia! Only here will you find mythical creatures living in a season of everlasting winter. When you visit, you will rub elbows with the likes of centaurs and fauns, giant dwarves, witches, lions, beavers, and other talking animals!

Grab your winter coat and head towards the lamppost, the first place you must visit when you arrive in Narnia! Of course, you must know, you might cross paths with Mr. Tumnus here. Use caution as he comes across as a kind faun with what hasa been described as a strange but pleasant face; however, he has been seen palling around with the White Witch, Jadis.

Your next Narnian stop should be to see Mr. Beaver, a most amazing builder of the dams! Mr. and Mrs. Beaver enjoy hosting guests, likely offering up tea and biscuits before giving you a firsthand tour of the dams.

Another interesting place to visit is the Wild Lands of the North. Even though this is where Jadis lives, you should be safe, provided you don’t eat the Turkish Delight! Surrounded by rivers and seas, mountains, high hills, arctic tundra, and a moat, you can take a tour of the castle, House of Harfang, guided by a giant, or, if you prefer, a self-guided tour.

The last stop on our must-see places of Narnia tour must be Aslan’s Country. Aslan (the Turkish word for “lion”) himself will take you on a safari through the country. He will show you the evergreen trees surrounded by kind and curious creatures. He will run with you across the rolling emerald hills or lay with you on a blanket of flowers in a field of lush, thick grass. Together, you can look up into the vibrant blue sky and stare into fluffy white clouds until they transform into the shapes of animals. If you are lucky, he will take you to meet his father, Emperor-Beyond-The-Sea.

Narnia is sure to be a magical addition to your vacation bucket list, with countless places to explore. Your trip to Narnia will be so unbelievable that you’ll need proof you were there!
