I recently finished rereading The Chronicles of Narnia with the final battle being The Last Battle. A good book (or series of books) is only as good as its conclusion and The Last Battle is a satisfying conclusion to the Narnia stories. If The Magicians Nephew is the Genesis of Narnia, The Last Battle is … Read More “Thoughts on the Last Battle” »
Like any series of books, C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia vary in quality. Although they are all good, some are better than others. One of my favourites is The Silver Chair. This story features Eustace Scrubb, a character introduced in the Voyage of The Dawn Treader. Eustace should get the award for most developed character … Read More “Thoughts on the Silver Chair” »
I have been reading the Chronicles of Narnia to my daughter. We have now read five of the seven books having just completed The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Strangely, I have not seen the movie based on it and so I have no idea how close it stayed to the book. What I can … Read More “Thoughts on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” »
In this age of information overload, we can sample media sources from every perspective. John Ehrett has put together a hilarious collection of imagined media reactions to the Chronicles of Narnia from the most popular sources today. It is funny because it is true. You really need to read his Here Are The Media Hottakes We’d … Read More “What If the Chronicles of Narnia Was Released Today?” »
I recently finished reading Prince Caspian. I had read it before, but most of my memories of the story come from the movie version. Prince Caspian was the second of the Chronicles of Narnia to be written, although it is the fourth chronologically according to Narnian history. Having reread the book, I enjoyed it much … Read More “Thoughts on Prince Caspian” »
I have been reading the Chronicles of Narnia to my youngest daughter. I have decided to read them in chronological order rather than publication. So we read the Horse and His Boy third, even though it was the fifth one published. That is because it takes place during the events of the Lion, the Witch … Read More “Thoughts on The Horse and His Boy” »
The following is an article written by Mark Woods for Christian Today. In CS Lewis’ novel The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Edmund, Lucy and their obnoxious cousin Eustace fall into the magical world of Narnia again through a painting on their wall of a ship at sea. It’s the Dawn Treader, and on board … Read More “What Narnia Teaches Us About the Star of Bethlehem” »
I’m currently reading through the Chronicles of Narnia for the second time, the first time having been about ten years ago. So far, I’m only four books into the series (I won’t go into the order here). My memories of the final book, Last Battle are vague. However, Shane Morris has recently written a post on … Read More “A Critical Look at the Last Battle” »
For many people, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is the Chronicles of Narnia. It was likely the success of this first book (in publication order) that called for the rest of the series. In the same way, the movie for this book was successful enough for them to make more movies. This is … Read More “Thoughts on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” »
Although I have read the Chronicles of Narnia some years ago, I’m currently reading through them again with my daughter. I’m sure I’m enjoying the stories as much as, if not more than, my daughter. I decided to read them in chronological order instead of publication order and thus started with The Magician’s Nephew. The … Read More “Thoughts on the Magician’s Nephew” »
