Query: a ghastly mistake

The detrimental message this sends to our children is that original sources are meaningless, language and intention are futile, and artistry is nonexistent. The subtlety and literary grandeur of Lewis' novel is placed, apparently, at no value in a rewritten version of a movie, which was itself a not-too-close equivalent of the original. I urge everyone to read the classic novel itself: Lewis' writing is not only witty and substantial, but is also simple enough for even the 3, 4, and 5 year old children of my friend to understand.
