The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

4.0

Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy Pevensie flee to the country during the Blitz. They room with an old professor in his big home. During their explorations, Lucy discovers a wardrobe which leads to another world--Narnia. Although disbelieving at first, soon all the kids venture to Narnia. There is a prophecy about four humans becoming Kings and Queens there. Edmund falls in with the White Witch, the evil influence. The others are soon joined with Aslan, the force for good. Edmund is eventually brought to the good side, and Aslan sacrifices himself for him--and, of course, is resurrected. A great battle ensues, and, of course, good wins. The siblings are crowned and rule well. Years later, they rediscover the Wardrobe and return to their original time and place--at the exact moment they left.

Allegorical component is there, but not as heavy handed as I thought it would be.
