189/365 The Adventure Begins

The summer reading assignment for seventh graders in our homeschool group is C.S. Lewis's The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

 

This evening my son began reading the book. My copy of the book, pulled down from the bookshelf with care, removed from its box set, cracked and creased, heavy with memories and story. My son opened the book--this edition published in 1978--pages yellowed with age, and I think it breathed a deep draught of fresh air. Brought to life again, in these gentle, strong boy hands, brimming with hope and light for journey.
