    Pretty sure they were also old as hell too, so they got to like regain their youth. Sort of a win if you don’t mind living, well, here. You know, rather than a magical world with talking animals and stuff.

      As I recall, they were adults but not old. I think they were riding through the forest, got off their horses to follow some light in the denser trees or something, then fell out of the wardrobe and couldn’t get back.

      In hindsight, those horses definitely fled the country or got executed.

        Reading all of this is both hilarious and disturbing. The post itself and this whole comment chain is just “I read it 30 years ago and barely remember anything but here’s my take on those vague memories”. And I’m replying to the very top comments, what the fuck is happening? It’s so fucking weird.

          lmao yeah it’s a Ken Burns documentary where we are getting the first hand accounts of the civil war because we can’t go back and watch the reply of the actual events but instead it’s a comment thread about a tweet about a movie about a book.

          I was being honest, the last time I read any of those books was probably 20+ years ago, but I read them repeatedly before then.
