For the Tropic of Freedom Books Finders Keepers:
The main theme in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is innocence. The innocence of a child can be very powerful. The problem is that as we grow up, our innocence is stolen from us. Lucy, being the youngest child, was the one to discover the magical land.

It is a child’s innocence that creates a child’s wonder of the world and inspires them to explore. But as we grow up, we lose that. We start to think that we know it all, we’ve experienced life so what more can there be?

How does the innocence demonstrated in this book, bring about a healing among the siblings?
What qualities does Lucy still have in tact, which adds to her quality of innocence and assists the healing process?
Why is Edmund so susceptible to the white witch? This is directly related to the process of growing old that we all go through.

Do you remember the wonder you had when you explored the world as a child?
Would you like to discover that wonder again?
