The Chronicles of Narnia are arguably the greatest children's books ever written. A seven volume set, I read them all in five days sometime after the birth of my first child in 1977. I couldn't put them down. I've read a lot of classic literature, but never anything like these. Lewis' writing is in a class all its own. Filled with fantastic imagery, wonder, delight, healthy doses of fear and loathing, and plenty of powerful allegorical life lessons, Lewis clearly has the corner on the market of children's literature. Clive Staples Lewis wisely never talks down to children, always elevating them to a higher standard of thinking and understanding by expecting them to do so. From simple, straightforward instruction like, "Everyone knows it's very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe", and, "Call everyone by their proper name", to weighty, powerful observations like, “Remember that all worlds draw to an end and that noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy.” This rare and beautiful form of courage and honor is exemplified over and over in the lives of dozens of dearly loved Narnian characters. Lucy, Reepicheep, Caspian, Puddleglum - the list is long, and very dear to me, like old friends. The qualities of faith, honor, honesty, courage, selflessness, faithfulness, and loyalty shine as bright beacons of light, drawing children and adults alike "higher up, and further in". I am an old school Narnia lover, and stick to the original publication order of the books, with #1 being "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe". This book powerfully moved and changed me. I had never read anything so beautifully allegorical regarding Christ. I laughed and cried, caring deeply about each character. "The Voyage of The Dawn Treader" is possibly my favorite, though. The scene wherein Eustace becomes a dragon, "thinking dragonish thoughts", then endures the searing pain of Aslan lovingly, but surely and without apology removing the scales....I can't remember weeping with more aching, heartfelt emotion over any book. Aslan had to do the same for me. The creation of Narnia in, "The Magician's Nephew", is one of the most lyrical and beautiful narratives in all of classic literature, and Lewis' understanding and grasp of time and eternity in "The Last Battle" are profoundly enlightening and inspiring. How I love these books. All children - and adults - should read "The Chronicles of Narnia" or have them read to them. Books that hold the power to influence and change us are few and far between. These seven volumes will do it again and again.
