Lion, the Witch, Wardrobe AND a book on the Holocaust

Well, I read this short little story. It was OK knowing the audience and the time in which it was written. I found it annoying that the author talked with the reader as if he were in the room. I would also argue against the editors naming the Witch as "Her" not "her". "He" in the middle of a sentence refers to God or, the embodiment, Jesus. I would not impart the level of greatness of God to a character, either Satan or its equivalent.

I don't know which versions others read, but I didn't read where the lion bites off the head of the witch. Hmmm, something amiss with the one I read?

Anyway, I would dare say C.S. Lewis' style is broadly better than other authors in that he doesn't drone on and on about some minor thing. As example:

The branch of the vein, the third from the bottom, stretched in an unusually way, spanning like the tributaries of the Nile, some broad, some narrow, opposing each other as if in debate. The smaller ridges like water and the higher ridges like pillars ...

So, anyway, the killer stepped across the field in autumn, crunching the leaves noisily leaving the scene.

Lewis generally just gave you a glimpse of something and let you paint the world as you liked it, after all, it is a children's tale. It isn't a bad tale, but limited on a few details that, in a modern sense could have been better. I will continue to read the series.

I am presently reading, The World Must Know: History of the Holocaust As Told In the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum by Michael Berenbaum.

from Christian Allegory to understanding the scope of the Holocaust, there is no segue.
