I read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe too and this really didn't reflect well. This resembled the Last Battle a lot in the obviousness of the allegory and frankly telegraphed what was going to happen with the various characters, I honestly felt underwhelmed by it. Possibly I'm not the right age for this but it left me wanting more and frankly not interested in finding out if it was a series.

Four children are sent to a house after the blitz. First Larry finds the strange library door and is disbelieved, then Evelyn finds it and after all four of them find the world that is Folio, where fact and fiction battle to the death and a mysterious magician lurks in the background.

I wanted to like it but I found it way too obvious. ( )
