I'm reading The Magician's Nephew at the moment; it used to be my least favourite but now I'd say it's in the top 2 or 3 (but I haven't read The Last Battle yet).<br /><br />Since everyone knows the Narnia books so well, I'm trying to add a little trivia. :-) If you've read Lewis' theological books, it's easy to pick up some of his "pet" topics in the Narnia chronicles. I find it fascinating how he can imbed high-level intellectual ideas into a children's fantasy.Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-12834900057665129582014-03-23T14:20:15.297-07:002014-03-23T14:20:15.297-07:00This isn't one of my favorites either, althoug...This isn't one of my favorites either, although I liked it far better when I reread it as an adult than I did as a child. I like how you always seem to provided added context for the Narnia posts; I'd no idea Pascal had made such a statement. amanda @ simplerpastimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127945915013121105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-81001302440124237552014-03-17T20:22:58.491-07:002014-03-17T20:22:58.491-07:00It's my least favourite only because the other...It's my least favourite only because the others have been soooo good! Perhaps there were also fewer characters that captured my imagination although I did like Golg of the dark caverns. It was still vintage Lewis though and very good! I still have The Horse and His Boy, The Magician's Nephew and the Last Battle to go!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-47932536675856571902014-03-17T19:24:44.094-07:002014-03-17T19:24:44.094-07:00Why is this book your least favorite of the series...Why is this book your least favorite of the series?
