Last Battle by C S Lewis

The provided text consists of excerpts from C. S. Lewis's novel, The Last Battle, which is the seventh book in The Chronicles of Narnia series. These sections focus on the beginning of the end for the world of Narnia, detailing how an evil Ape named Shift manipulates a gentle Donkey named Puzzle into wearing a lion's skin to impersonate the great lion Aslan. This deception is used to cooperate with the dark-skinned Calormenes to exploit Narnia and subdue the Talking Beasts, leading to a final confrontation where King Tirian and the returned children from our world—including Jill Pole and Eustace Scrubb—must fight against the false Aslan's regime and eventually witness the destruction and subsequent recreation of Narnia in Aslan's Country.
