Meet the creatures of Narnia! In this 24-page illustrated storybook, parents and children can relive the excitement of the Chronicles of Narnia by reading about their favorite Narnian creatures.
The Narnian Chronicles were my favourite books when I was aged 11 - 14. I loved the varied characters and the way the principal players develop in a credible way. I loved the tales, the descriptions of different worlds, the feeling of being a virtual traveller in very exciting places. I didn't see the strong religious Christian analogies and dogma and I didn't spot the racism and sexism.
I loved the Narnian books as a child yet it represents the values of the early 20c. C S Lewis was brought up in an all-male household and only at the end of his life did he develop a strong loving relationship with a Jewish American woman who rocked his ideas of womanhood. This late romance was tenderly and sensitively depicted in Shadowlands a great film starring Anthony Hopkins
We loved this book. The kids were on the edge of their seatsthe whole time, they would not peel their eyes from the story. This was exciting for me to see because I would love to read them the Chronicles of Narnia books.
