Após adiar a leitura d’As Crónicas de Nárnia durante anos, optei por investir numa primeira leitura da coleção seguindo a ordem original de publicação dos livros.
Gostei particularmente do facto de C. S. Lewis ter descrito detalhadamente os espaços que compreendem a ação e os acontecimentos que a compõem, recorrendo a uma escrita simples e adequada às crianças, permitindo-lhes visualizar facilmente a história. Além disso, mesmo sabendo que o autor pretendia estabelecer algumas pontes entre O Leão, A Feiticeira e o Guarda-Roupa e a Bíblia, para a maioria das crianças, acredito que este não passará de um conto acerca da díade bondade-maldade e das consequências dos nossos atos.
Embora, neste primeiro volume, se destaquem intensamente as características menos positivas do Edmund e ele tenha direito a um arco de redenção, através do qual se torna uma pessoa justa e acarinhada, gostava que as personalidades do Peter, da Susan e da Lucy também tivessem sido mais bem exploradas. Aguardo para perceber se os restantes livros serão utilizados para desenvolver este trabalho e aprofundar as outras personagens...

Absolute classic that works on several levels, and the book that introduced me, in the third grade, to the concept of metaphors.

This was a cute book. It was short and simple, and I can see why it's a classic. The characters were good, the plot was adorable and predictable, and the writing style was easy to follow.

I tried to read this a few times as a kid but could never get past how much the White Witch scared me. I'm really glad I got to read it once I got older, though, because it's a really fun, cute, lighthearted read, if a little shallow and very heavy on the Jesus metaphors. I really liked the ending, too, and it made me want to read the others!! I'd recommend this to any kid or really any person who is looking for something light and whimsical to read.

I’ll be the first to admit that my disinterest upon finishing this book is likely colored by my love of the movie (which does many things better than the book). I also dislike Lewis’s treatment of women. The actual world of Narnia is a fascinating sandbox and I wish it had been explored more in the book. I felt as though we were running past things that I wanted to stop and examine.
