Review: The Magician's Nephew: The Chronicles of Narnia


The Magician's Nephew: The Chronicles of Narnia
The Magician's Nephew: The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Having recently read Roald Dahl's [b:The Witches|6327|The Witches|Roald Dahl|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1351707720s/6327.jpg|105046], it gave me an immediate comparison between 2 children's book.

You can't truly compare them, as they written for completely different reasons.

But anyway...

Very good! A wonderful story about 2 children and the beginning of Narnia. It was well written and the narrative just flowed. Nowhere did a word or phrase jar me out of the world Lewis crafted. Hints of Christian theology were deftly woven through, while leaving the fantasy wide open.

A wonderful start to The Chronicles of Narnia.
