I read this as the first one of the chronicles of Narnia but I must say I really thought it would be better. I mean it was a bit boring at times and I only really liked the last two chapters. Disappointing..
One of my all-time favourite comfort stories and (audio) books. It’s beautiful, enchanting and I am always in awe of C.S. Lewis’ ability to write authentically *about* children and the way they perceive the world and *for* children and for young at heart people of all ages who enjoy magic and fairytales and being told stories. ❤️
This review might contain not obvious spoilers without any names mentioned. The protagonist who appeared out of nowhere creates the whole world from Nothing in a couple of days, divides all the animals into pairs; the antagonist seduces someone to eat the forbidden apple... Felt like reading the first chapters of the old testament, to be honest
