The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
4.0
This was my childhood - and I have my sister to thank for that. She read them in school, and I followed suit. Saw the first Narnia film before I started to read these. And I am glad I did, I love these stories! My favourite is "Prince Caspian".
It was a great way to be introduced to the fantasy world (and to mythology with Greek Fauns and Dryads, and Northern European giants and dwarves) at a young age as these stories were full of all kinds of creatures and adventures. You can tell Lewis and Tolkien were friends as they have similar themes and vibes (and of course draw from Christianity to tell their stories), though possess very different writing styles altogether.
I rate it 4 stars only because some of the books I remember did not grip my attention the same way others did ("The Horse and His Boy" & "The Silver Chair") and not as descriptive as I'd like now. Forever grateful for these chronicles though.
