"And as He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at least they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before. "
I almost cried when I read this. I feel as if I've made the journey throughout all mankind. This is what I love about reading. Esp. things of this nature. What a wonderful parallel.
I must say the Last Battle was everything I had been told. One of the best endings to a book I've ever read...only because it's true. Isn't it wonderful how the things/imaginations of this world can almost draw you into the next.
Bravo Mr. Lewis.
