The Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia, #1)

Oh gosh, how many years must it be since I last read this book, 30 ? or more, who knows, but I zipped through it like we were the closest of friends who met every day. A true joy to read, that is how writing should be.
Probably one of the lesser known Narnia books but the start of the series none the less and our first introduction to Aslan, and a delight to read. 5 stars all the way.
I had no intention of starting this series this year or even anytime soon, but I saw the boxed set on the shelf and thought why not. What a great decision that was.
If you’ve never read a Narnia book, you have to try it, if you have read them, never forget them and re-read as soon as you can, you will not regret it.

Chronologically it is the first book but in fact The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was published first. A lot of people make this mistake.

Never knew that, Thank you. As you say storywise, it certainly does come first by about 50 years ish.
Ah...the first of the Narnia stories. Fab review Adrian!

Ah, a Narnia blitz sounds fabulous. And what a set of stories to reach your "2018 Reading Challenge" with ;-)

I’m sure you’ll hit target well before Xmas! Then you’ll be able to sit back and have that nice cuppa ☕

Read this many times as a child - one of my favourites of the series especially with the winged horse. I always re-read the series in the chronological order of the stories so this one came first.
