If you enjoyed the movie, or were touched/inspired by it ... please read the books. C. S. Lewis wrote a series of seven or so children's books. Each, in its own way, is a wonderful experience.
My remarkable mother read the books to us as they were published; I later read them to myself; and, yet later, read them to my own daughter. With each reading the message becomes more profound.
Read the books ... and read all of them. You will never regret the time spent reading them and will only regret that they have not been part of your life forever. Anyone who loves these books will also love George MacDonald's The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and Curdie.
These books are a gift. Give them to yourself for Christmas and then read them again and again. I still do after all those years.
It shows you what a wicked sense of humor C.S. Lewis had, especially with respect to moddish trends overtaking Christianity.
That they are! I need to get the set.
The movie was excellent, by the way.
considering how much I have read, I am actually quite amazed I have never read the Narnia books.
Indeed, the only CSLewis I have read have been Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity - both owned and loaned to me by KODT
I have read them, and I'd like to see how closely the movie resembles the books. I've read the Bible a few times and waited for a year to see the Passion. Mel Gibson did a superb job.
