The first one I read in the series. Found it fascinating to discover the background (I had seen the first movie) and loved knowing who the White Witch was. Kind of hilarious sometimes. Aslan's creation of the world was really neat--and beautiful ( )

Wow I forgot so much. Tells the origin stories of the lamppost, the wardrobe, the white witch, the first kings and queens of narnia, even narnia itself.
I am of the camp that believes in publication order. This is fun to read AFTER you are already familiar with the world. ( )

One of my favorite books. ( )

I‘ve started these complete works in audio (33 hours worth) and just finished the first book, The Magician‘s Nephew. I‘d only seen a few of the movies, so it was a complete delight to learn how Narnia came about, and the witch, and the wardrobe! Kenneth Branaugh read the first book and may I say, he did all the different animal voices spectacularly!! I‘m loving it so much so far!! ( )

This was a cute intro into the world and creation of Narnia. The plot was short and sweet but seemed like a nice prequal, not sure, this is the first I read; will have to read the rest. ( )
