A lovely set of fairytales which are written from the very enjoyable perspective of children.
Magician's Nephew starts the Chronicles of Narnia in every sense of the word...and we find out just why the wardrobe works as it does and the identity of the Professor!
Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the tale with which most everyone is most familiar where Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy go off adventuring through the wardrobe into Narnia.
Horse and His Boy is a tale of secret identities, kidnappings, and the reveal of another nation's rivalry with Narnia.
Prince Caspian's adventure begins with Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy being pulled into Narnia from the train where they aid Prince Caspian in overthrowing his murderous uncle and restoring Narnian principles.
Voyage of the Dawn Treader adds a new son of Adam when Edmund and Lucy fall into the sea and all three are picked up by the Dawn Treader as it sails on its journey to discover what happened to the seven loyal men whom King Caspian's uncle plotted to kill.
Silver Chair deposits Eustace and Jill into Narnia in time to miss King Caspian sailing off to search for his lost son. Aslan has given them the task of finding Prince Rilian and those adventures see them escaping hungry giants and defeating the evil Queen of the Underworld to rescue Prince Rilian thus fulfilling the task given them by Aslan.
Last Battle is a desperate struggle to defeat the evil alliance of Shift and the Calormene to save Narnia. Eustace and Jill arrive to help King Tirian fruitlessly battle the alliance but Aslan's appearance completes the doom of Narnia with a very Christian "judging at the pearly gates" separating the believers from the unbelievers as they all venture forth into a new Narnia where they meet up with Peter, Edmund, and Lucy. To Lucy's pleasant surprise, they learn that none of them will be sent back to their world ever again as they discover the truth of Narnia.

Beloved children series with a nice setting and lovable characters. I just hoped that the last book wasn't so meaning-packed, as it got a little out of hand for a kids' book.

I read these in school and really enjoyed the series. It's not my favourite, but it's definitely fun to read.

Read and loved them as a child, despite the obvious drawbacks & flaws. Should I ever have kids, or nieces and nephews as is more likely, I will probably give them these to read.
