idc if it’s Jesus fanfiction. it brought me a lot of joy in a time when I needed it.
I was introduced to "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" back in jr. high school. I fell in love with the story, and had to get the entire series! It's no wonder that my boxed set is falling apart after all this time.
I also enjoyed the recent movie based on L, W & W and look forward to the next movie...based on Prince Caspian.

If the rest of the series isn’t Aslan vs Edmund in a Diva off, I don’t want it
Oh geez, did you know The Horse and His Boy is super racist? Reading “classic” books to my kids is like eating food with shards of glass in it - you never know when you’ll get halfway through a sentence and choke on the racism/sexism. S needs read-aloud chapter books and these were available on the library’s ebook app, and I never read them as a kid and they’re so beloved, etc. We got through The Magician’s Nephew and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and they were fun to read because they’re so well-written and complex and smart, and they had enough adventure and drama for S to pay attention, and we decided to use the 1950s era British sexism and total absence of characters of color and even the Christian allegory as, like, discussion points. But we quit when we hit the Orientalism.
I've read this series a few times. The last time (in 2005) I read it aloud to my oldest daughter. What a great way to share this series (not the first time I'd read it aloud, either).
