"The Lying Bitch and Her Wardrobe" 

 

C S Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe gets an unashamedly politically incorrect make-over! Join Pedro, Svetlana, Eduardo, and Lacy on their hilarious adventures. Dumped by their mother on their disturbingly weird uncle, the children explore his outlandish mansion and discover the magical camp closet, inhabited by Freebase the monkey.

The closet is a magic portal that takes them to the bizarre world of Yawnia where they befriend the Good Creatures of the enchanted land. Can the children and their friends overthrow the wicked White Bitch?

Is nothing sacred? You may well ask such a question after reading P G Jones’s hilarious and affectionate parody of C S Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. Imagine that the fantasy world of C S Lewis’s England and Narnia has been transported to the present day United Kingdom and Yawnia!

The genteel Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are metamorphosed into tough inner city,  streetwise kids Pedro, Svetlana, Eduardo and Lacy and the eccentric Professor becomes the sinister Dr. Didgery Shag. The rather stern housekeeper of C S Lewis's original, Mrs. Macready, is transformed into the psychotic Mrs. MacCreepy, while the infamous White Witch of C S Lewis’s original is morphed into the equally malevolent “White Bitch” with a fabulous wardrobe.

Fast paced and liberally scattered with hillarious puns, jokes and allusions, this story nevertheless remains true to the style of C S Lewis, and is a book not to be missed.
