Product Description:
When Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are sent to stay with a kind professor who lives in the country, they can hardly imagine the extraordinary adventure that awaits them.
It all begins one rainy summer day when the children explore the Professor's rambling old house. When they come across a room with an old wardrobe in the corner, Lucy immediately opens the door and gets inside. To her amazement, she suddenly finds herself standing in the clearing of a wood on a winter afternoon, with snowflakes falling through the air. Lucy has found Narnia, a magical land of Fauns and Centaurs, Nymphs and Talking Animals -- and the beautiful but evil White Witch, who has held the country in eternal winter for a hundred years.

One of the miracles of C.S. Lewis is that he is able to incorporate a sense of the mystical and magical with the form of the world in a Christian framework without either aspect becoming forced or stilted. The stories that Lewis has crafted in the Chronicles of Narnia stand on their own as good storytelling even without the underpinning of Christian imagery - they are strong tales, kin in many ways to the Lord of the Rings cycle, which makes sense, given the friendship and professional relationship ...

I read the Narnia series aloud to my daughter as bedtime stories. We were reading from the boxed set of The Chronicles of Narnia, and we started with The Magician's Nephew. It is an interesting story in it's own right, and I assumed that since it is, after all, the "first" book in the series, that it should be read, well, first. Only later did I learn that The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was written first. A reviewer pointed out to me that reading The Magician's Nephew first robs the uninitiated ... Read More
