 was first introduced into The Chronicals of Narnia when I was in the 5th grade by my teacher Mrs. Jennings..when she read the book to us The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. The Chronicals of Narnia were written by C.S.Lewis who wrote over 60 books and essays in his lifetime, most of which were of the more adult/religious nature. The Chronicals of Narnia can be read as a wonderful fantasy, or you can look for the religious tones that are present, but not obtrusive.
The Chronicals of Narnia are a series of books ..where children from the mundane world can cross over into Narnia..and become one with the animals..the fauns..the nymphs...dryads..the giants and the dwarfs (just to name a few). In the adventures of the mortal children in this world.. they grow to a more mature being inside...where you can pick out the character in the beginning of the book...and say..."oh no! not one of THOSE children"...and by the end of the book..see how the adventure changed that child for the better. This is a truely magical series of 7 seven books...and although I may not have done a good job convincing you here to at least give it a try...Pick up the first one...The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe....and try it..even if you just have to go to the bookstore and stand there for a few minutes to read the first chapter...I guarantee that if you are a child at heart...you'll end up liking it...and picking up the rest of the series. (guess you could tell this is my favorite series eh?) Once again, if you are interested on any information about C.S.Lewis..or The Chronicals of Narnia here's a useful link Into the Wardrobe: The C.S. Lewis Web Site ..or simply do a search under "C.S.Lewis"...or "Narnia" ..and if you're lucky enough to have this news group here it is Alt.books.cs-lewis
