C.S. Lewis never fails to surprise the reader. Whether the story is for a young adult and older adult, the author gets the reader involved in the story line. In this particular story we find the beginnings of Narnia. We get to meet Aslan and find where the first king and queen of Narnia come from.
This book is a nice beginning to the chronicles of narnia. Pay attention to some details (especially the names and the significance of the tree).
This is where Narnia starts. C.S. Lewis had a marvelous penchant for writing very simply, and profoundly.
The prequel to _Lion, Witch, & Wardrobe_, this is the 3rd book in order of publication but the first in the Narnia timeline. After seeing the 2 latest Narnia movies, I reread this book. It foreshadows EVERYTHING! It had been so long since I had read the series (the last time out of many readings), that I had forgotten. No spoilers so I can't say much except that the nephew witnesses Narnia being sung into creation by Aslan, the lion. Quite Biblical also.
explains a few things about Narnia, religious undertones when looked at as a whole against Chronicles.
Extra copy I received as a gift.
