I was very surprised by the horse, Strawberry’s, transformation by Aslan into a winged horse named Fledge. Fledge became very important when it was time for Digory to get the special Apple to help heal Narnia. Without him, Digory and Polly could not have made the journey. Digory was tempted to eat the Apple by the witch and himself. That is similar to when Satan tempts humans. It is good that Digory did not fall for the temptation and was able to heal his mom with an Apple grown from the tree which grew from the Apple that Digory brought back.

C. S. Lewis does a very good job foreshadowing the next book. He mentions the lamppost that grew and comings and goings to Narnia through a certain wardrobe which Digory made from wood from an Apple tree. The foreshadowing in this book is probably so obvious because the second book in the Chronicles of Narnia series was written before the first.
