    <body><![CDATA[Reading the Narnian books in chronological order instead of written order was certainly enjoyable and helped bring small puzzles pieces together very succinctly. I'm never one for going on too long about the allegories of a book(s), but I am in complete awe of the completeness of CS Lewis' Christianity allegory with his Narnia tales. The quality yet personal originality of both Tolkien and Lewis (friends) are fantastic and are classics. <br/><br/>I highly encourage listening to the unabridged CDs of this series. The readers (Derek Jacobi and Patrick Stewart to name a couple) were fabulous. The general rule of thumb to read the Chronicles of Narnia as a child, young adult and older adult is definitely something I can understand as our experiences mount and insights into the books grow deeper.]]></body>
