The Wardrobe to Narnia sits in Chicago?!

C. S. Lewis got an inspiration to write a book that would eventually lead us to The Chronicles of Narnia. Little did he know it would just start with a question about an old wardrobe in an upstairs room. Yes, you read right. During the Air-Raids of World War II, C. S. Lewis had several children stay with him. One of the children, a young girl asked him what lay behind a wardrobe in an upstairs room. This sparked the brilliant imagination of C. S. Lewis whom provided an amazing answer to that question. The little girl, now ten years older, must have found more than she could ever possibly imagine awaiting behind this magical wardrobe. Still today, you can see this magical wardrobe in the Wade Center of Chicago's Wheaton College. There is a sign posted warning visitors: "Enter at your own risk. The Wade Center assumes no responsibility for persons who disappear or who are lost in this wardrobe." I will have to see this the next time I am in Chicago! Perhaps that will be the last people see of me!!
