the Chronicles of Narnia

...we did it, seingine and I just finished THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW. It was good. I never read that series as a kid. So I have never read any exerpt or article in regards to it, so I can say this without having been biased. And of course it is my opinion, so if it is not what the author intended, well then it is what I got out of it. It reminded me so much of reading a modern day work of mythology, mixed in with biblical analogy's: The creation of a new world. The Son of Adam etc. The evil in the new world. The silver apples on the Tree of Life. So now I understand how the wardrobe came to to the be. How exciting for the next book, the LION, THE WITCH and THE WARDROBE. Though, I did find out that this was actually his sixth book the series and written as a prequel to the L.W.T.W. I think cs Lewis was a medievalist, just like Dad. But I am not going to find out anything about him 'til after we're done with the series. I've found that lately when I know too much about an writer it tends to bias my opinion of their writing.
