The Magician's Nephew C.S. Lewis
The Lion, the Witch & the Wardeobe C.S. Lewis  Four
children, Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy, are evacuated to the countryside
during the war. However, they soon find themselves in real danger when
Lucy stumbles upon the magical world of Narnia. Winter and the White Witch
are the greatest threats now and only the four children and the great
lion, Aslan, can stop the evil enchantment.
The Horse & His Boy C.S. Lewis  Bree,
the horse, has been kidnapped from Narnia and longs to return there. Shasta,
on the verge of being sold into slavery, decides to run away with him
in search of the home he's always dreamed of. But the journey is full
of surprises and fraught with dangers, and when the companions uncover
a treasonous plot, it also becomes a race against time.
Prince Caspian C.S. Lewis  Troubled
times have come again to Narnia. The Telemarines have conquered the country
and are persecuting the true-born Narnians. Prince Caspian, seeing the
evil done by his usurping uncle, King Miraz, and with his army heavily
outnumbered, in desperation blows the Great Horn of Narnia. Peter, Susan,
Edmund and Lucy, heroes from the distant past, find themselves once more
in the kingdom, but with an almost impossible task ahead of them - to
save Narnia.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader C.S. Lewis  Lucy
and Edmund, stuck with their awful cousin Eustace, suddenly find themselves
on board the Dawn Treader - and realise they have fallen into the magical
land of Narnia. Reunited with old friends, the young King Caspian and
Reepicheep the mouse, they gladly join the voyage to the World's End.
Eustace, however is not so happy.
The Silver Chair C.S. Lewis
The Last Battle C.S. Lewis  It
is Narnia's darkest hour. A false Aslan is commanding all Narnians to
work for the cruel Calormenes and striking terror into every heart. King
Tirian's only hope is to call Eustace and Jill back to Narnia, in an attempt
to find the true Aslan and restore peace to the land. But a mighty battle
lies ahead. |

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.
When Clive Staples Lewis, an eminent Oxford professor, wrote a book about a faun carrying an umbrella in a snowy wood, a queen on a sledge and a magnificent lion, he couldn't have dreamed that it would become one of the most famous and well-loved stories of all time. Like Lucy, who steps into a wardrobe and suddenly finds herself in a snowy land of fauns, centaurs, nymphs and talking animals, and the beautiful but cruel White Witch who has held it in an icy grip for a hundred years, one cannot help being irrevocably drawn into the magic of Narnia. Six further Chronicles followed the success of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, and they are among the most remarkable fantasy novels ever written - journeys to the depths of the earth and to the end of the world, escapes across deserts, and battles with cruel nations, usurping uncles and evil enchantresses. Lewis's superb skill lies in combining fantasy with what feels utterly real, for in Narnia the cherry blossom is whiter and wilder, the wine tastes sweeter, and the stars burn brighter. It is there that the depth of one's courage, one's humanity - and one's humour - is found. Aslan, the great Lion, is the golden link between the Chronicles; by turns majestic and compassionate, wise and playful, he is Narnia's creator and saviour, and draws the story to its dramatic finale in The Last Battle. "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness." - C S LEWIS |
