Description: The first in The Chronicles of Narnia series, this book was actually written after all of the others were. It gives the back story behind how Narnia came to be, and how the wardrobe become a portal to it.
Thoughts: Lewis' ideas behind Narnia are extremely creative, and the Christian allegory throughout the Narnia series definitely shows through in this book. I have to say it was highly entertaining, although I didn't find it quite as compelling as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. A great read if you are looking for something light, fast, and wholesome.
