This story has come to mean so much to me in such a brief amount of time. It is now highly prized as one of my very favorite books.

This is the "prequel" to all the other Narnia books, and ends with the creation of the world it takes place in. C.S. Lewis did a great job of explaining all the "hows" he created earlier, given he certainly didn't expect to be writing this when he started. As always his Christian analogies are on-point, and overall this makes for a very entertaining and exciting read.

Such a good book! I also loved the ending or sound I say the beginning of all of the other stories.

This was a little different from what I expected. After reading "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe", which is a more childhood wonderland story, this turned out to be a more mild history. It was nice to figure out the origin of Narnia, though!

Be ready to know how narnia was born and how there is a connection between narnia and our world.
