The Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis

After reading SANDEMP's excellent review of this book and coming across MAURI's book challenge on his profile page, I thought I'd enter my review of this into the challenge. If you want more information contact the Book category guides Mauri or Calypte. CS Lewis wrote more than just the Narnia series, of course. He wrote other allegorical works. He wrote treatises on Christianity. He wrote.. well, he wrote lots of things. But if you've never read anything by him before, you MUST start with The Chronicles of Narnia. Not because they're the most well known, but because in the entire Chronicles (which here comprises 7 novels in one book), you can see the ...  Read the complete review

I've been steadily working my way through my favourite childhood reading material, and just realised that my thirteen year-old son has laid claim to my copies of the books that make up The Chronicles of Narnia, which is a set of books that was bought for me when I was about ten.

With a heavy presence in the public consciousness and a new film on the way, C. S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia are proving as timeless as the Christian stories the author wished to elaborate on. There was an animated film, the BBC made four adaptations in the late eighties and it’s even referenced in ‘The Young Ones.’ Enjoyable for adults as well as children, and occasionally for the exact same reasons, these seven books continue to be re-released as each new generation discovers the land of Narnia.
