Author's Review

I missed out by not having experienced The Chronicles Of Narnia as a young child. I recently read them for the first time, having been told by many of my friends that I was missing out. Although I am also a huge fan of Tolkien and the Harry Potter series, I generally do not consider "fantasy" to be my favorite genre. What makes these three series' stand out is that they are above and beyond genre and have attained status as classic literature. The Chronicles of Narnia is a series for the ages.
Even though my experience with these books was long overdue, I was still able to appreciate them, even though it is through the eyes of an adult and not a child. Although these books are categorized as children's books, their appeal is incredibly wide because the text is so rich. The structure of the books makes the series a fairly quick read; the text is saturated with religious allegory without becoming overly moralistic or preachy, which makes it an excellent read for children.
The stand out novel of the series, and the book that took me in completely to this series, is, not surprisingly, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This is no surprise considering this second book is the one that is most widely known in the series. This book sets the pace for the entire series, but it never lets down, it keeps going and keeps you absorbed in the story.
The books, obviously, are a chronology of events that take place in a mystical land called Narnia. Narnia is first experienced in The Magician's Nephew, where a deranged magician sends his nephew and his nephew's best friend to narnia with travel rings that he invented. These characters do not make another appearance in the series, but set the stage for the four main children who make the series: brothers and sisters Susan, Peter, Edmund, and Lucy, who, in the second book, accidentally slip into Narnia and end up as Kings and Queens. They make appearances in every book, even though each is the story of a different person.
This series is a classic and an excellent investment for any family with children, as the entire household will be able to enjoy it.
