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.

And now I've read the first 5, oops. A bit of a Narnia blitz, totally unexpected, but sooo enjoyable

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 ☕

It must be as I said over 30 years (probably more like 40 ha ha) since I read this, maybe like you I should read them all more often
