儿童节特供：11本最伟大的英文童书

2. CS Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)

《狮子、女巫与魔衣橱》（1950年），C•S•路易斯著

Lewis’ high fantasy classic drew high praise in our critics’ poll. “CS Lewis’ perfect fable The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is subtitled 'a story for children',” says author and critic David Abrams. “But The Chronicles of Narnia are stories for everybody. They can be read as Christian allegory or as a magical fable about four children who stumble across a magic wardrobe and, pushing their way through mothballed fur coats, enter a land of snow and forests and fauns and lampposts and a white-skinned, black-hearted Queen who dispenses turkish delight like deadly heroin.”

在我们的投票中，路易斯这本高度奇幻经典之作得到了很高的评价。作家兼评论员大卫•阿勃拉姆斯说：“路易斯的完美寓言故事《狮子、女巫与魔衣橱》副标题是‘写给儿童的故事’，但《纳尼亚传奇》人人都可阅读。它们可以被看作基督教寓言，或者有关四位儿童的神奇寓言故事。他们偶然发现了一个魔法衣橱，穿过封存好的皮毛大衣，来到一片冰雪森林世界。这里有半人半羊的农牧神、街灯柱、雪白肌肤但心肠狠毒的女王，她在分发像海洛因一样致命的土耳其软糖。

“This enchanting story combines unsettling magic, psychological realism and a deep sense of beauty,” notes critic Roxana Robinson, president of the Authors Guild. “Lewis is wonderful at descriptions of the physical world. It is both thrilling and comforting to read, intelligent, compassionate and graceful.” (Credit: Geoffrey Bles)
