The Adventure Begins. Narnia … where talking beasts walk … where a witch waits… where a new world is about to be born. On a daring quest to save a life, two friends are hurled into another world, where an evil sorceress seeks to enslave them. But then the lion Aslan’s song weaves itself into the fabric of a new land, a land that will be known as Narnia. And in Narnia, all things are possible….
The Magician’s Nephew is the book my book club read for December. The rest of the series are the books we’re going to read for December, January, and possibly February; it just depends on how long it takes all of us to read them.
After I finished reading The Subtle Knife, I went to the library to check out all seven books to read for our book club. The next day, I was surprised to find The Magician’s Nephew at my cubicle. My co-worker Becky gave it to me for Christmas.
Even though I’ve known the story of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe since I was a child, I’ve never actually read the books. Although I didn’t really care for The Magician’s Nephew much, I enjoyed reading it once the characters arrived in Narnia. I also loved reading about Aslan for the first time. It was neat to read about the birth of Narnia and learn where the wardrobe came from. I’m very excited to continue reading the story of Narnia now that I’ve started.
About Jenni Elyse
This is my favorite of the Narnia books. I think that’s mostly because the symbolism is so obvious and easy to understand. It has such interesting insights about creation.
P.S. We miss you guys!
