The entire series in chronological order, starting with the Magician's Nephew. Wonderful stories. I can't wait for the next movie.

"The Chronicles of Narnia", the complete collection of all 7 of C.S. Lewis' masterpieces, has been read and enjoyed by millions of people throughout the decades since its initial publishing, and for good reason. The stories teach important values and morals to its target audience, i.e. children, while also inventing a wildly imaginative and diverse fantasy world anyone would want to live in. Shades of grey present in the protagonists of each book help us all see the fallibility and imperfection present within humankind. A must-read, especially if you have children. This will surely spark their imaginations and creativity!

This was amazing. I love the fantasy, it told of old and new. It is hard to put down. It is the entire chronicles. It is about 4 children and the times they have in an enchanted land.

This book gives more of a background leading up to Narnia the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. This starts back I believe with the professor in Narnia was a boy and shows the progression until Narnia.

I think everything that could be said about these books has already been said. But, I can't resist adding my own love of this series here. I first read "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" in 4th grade. And then again in high school. In college, I discovered all the series, and read them all several times over. I think CS Lewis is brilliant.

I didn't even realize that this series is meant to be a metaphor for Christianity. I'm an atheist, though an ex-Catholic, and I totally missed that bit in the books! But, looking back, I can see some of the Christian themes. Although, these can be easily ignored for us non-Christians.

I think my favorites are the first 3 books. After that, they're still brilliant, but I really loved one of the characters and this character doesn't make it all the way through (I don't want to give away any spoilers).

Anyway, these are timeless books. I'd give them to any child, and enjoy watching them discover the magic of CS Lewis.
