The Wisdom of Narnia
Captivated by the spirited adventures of C. S. Lewiss The Chronicles of Narnia , generations of readers have also been touched and inspired by their timeless wisdom, simple truths, and gentle humor. We come to understand, through excerpts from all seven books, the power of this special place that has been so important to readers for over fifty years.
T heres nothing to beat good freshwater fish if you eat it when it has been alive half an hour ago and has come out of the pan half a minute ago.
LWW: 74
T o sleep under the stars, to drink nothing but well water and to live chiefly on nuts and wild fruit, was a strange experience for Caspian after his bed with silken sheets in a tapestried chamber at the castle, with meals laid out on gold and silver dishes in the anteroom, and attendants ready at his call. But he had never enjoyed himself more. Never had sleep been more refreshing nor food tasted more savory.
PC: 84
W hen it was almost dark Tirian heard a light pitter-patter of feet and saw some small creatures coming toward him. Then, in a moment, they were all standing up on their hind legs, laying their cool paws on his knees and giving his knees snuffly animal kisses. They fed him with oatcakes and fresh butter, and then with some more wine.
Now hand up the water, said the first Mouse, and Ill wash the Kings face. There is blood on it.

W ere free Narnians, Hwin and I, and I suppose, if youre running away to Narnia, you want to be one too. In that case Hwin isnt your horse any longer. One might just as well say youre her human.

A ll this time the Lions song, and his stately prowl, to and fro, backward and forward, was going on. When a line of dark firs sprang up on a ridge [Polly] felt that they were connected with a series of deep, prolonged notes which the Lion had sung a second before. And when he burst into a rapid series of lighter notes she was not surprised to see primroses suddenly appearing in every direction. Thusshe felt quite certain that all the things were coming (as she said) out of the Lions head.

U ncle Andrew shrugged his shouldersand said:
Leave the little girl to be eaten by wild animals or drowned or starved in the Otherworld or lost there for good. Perhaps before tea time youd better drop in on Mrs. Plummer and explain that shell never see her daughter again; because you were afraid to put on a ring.
MN: 2930
[Digory] took a deep breath, and picked up the ring. And he thought then, as he always thought afterward too, that he could not decently have done anything else.
MN: 30
C reatures, I give you yourselves, said the strong, happy voice of Aslan. I give to you forever this land of Narnia. I give you the woods, the fruits, the rivers. I give you the stars and I give you myself. The Dumb Beasts whom I have not chosen are yours also. Treat them gently and cherish them but do not go back to their ways lest you cease to be Talking Beasts. For out of them you were taken and into them you can return. Do not so.
