#3 The Horse and His Boy

Enjoyed alternating between stories I knew and this which I didn't, thus far my favourite and Gerwig could really slay with this one

At points quite comical, Jadis is truly quite a caricature of evil but there's that spiritual, moral sincerity that redeems the simplicity of the Biblical allegory and the sillier aspects of the characters (@ young Diggory learn to # respect women)
