The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

The series is special to me because they are the last books I read to him before he outgrew that stage of life. I see a lot of criticism and fussing over the religious meanings in the books but I still hold them dear. My son is my youngest so that was the end of my reading to my kids. sigh

I read them multiple times as a kid and multiple times again as an adult. I have them in print, ebook and audio book and will read them again. Lewis was fairly heavy handed with the allegory, but they're still very good fantasy stories. He also wrote a sci-fi series that I keep meaning to get to. I'll have to bump those up the list and review them here.

It's kinda funny how I was introduced to the Narnia books though. It was a pastor trying to pass himself off as an academic who had my fourth grade teacher select five or six of us to study the books, on school time, at the school. I guess he thought he could get around the separation of church and state that way and bring more kids to jeebus. He failed miserably. Smile
