Zoë and I just got licensed for foster care and I so I've been collecting old books from my childhood to have on hand. We had our first kid stay with us this weekend and I got to read the end of this book to him to help him fall asleep - starting at the girls mourning Aslan's death, and going through his resurrection, the freeing of the statues, the death of the Witch, the crowning of the children, and all the way to the end when the Professor tells them they'll be back to Narnia again if only they don't try. The kid fell asleep at some point but I just kept going. There was so much I forgot, it's such a sweet book. I love the Harrowing of Hell and all its depictions in art, this book is no exception. Christ is the Orpheus who never looked back.

These are great childrens books.
The pacing and descriptions are great for children giving them the information they probably would like and moving fast enough to keep them entertained.As an adult I notice the religious undertones and they can be a little of putting for someone not religious but I can't remember these being important as a child and it woudln't stop me reading these to children.

Classic. It was nice. I enjoyed reading this for the first time. But tbh, I don't know if I'll read the others. I did sympathize with Edmund a little bit more. So I guess that's fun. But I did like the whole thing about the deep magic and such. That was a great way of explaining those religious themes.
