Do you enjoy the classic 7 book fantasy series written by C.S.Lewis called The Chronicles of Narnia?
They are well-written and have become classics of children's literature.

Yes they are cool. My favourite is probably The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe

I have read the first 3. They are great books. (to all who have not read them) It helps if you read the first one, case then you know why some things are the way they are in the lion the witch and the wardrobe

Clive Staples Lewis was an Anglican church man and he wrote them as a Christian message disguised inside a fantasy The great lion Aslan represents Jesus the Lord God in the creation of the land of Narnia and my most favourite allegory. He gives his life to pay for Edmund's treachery and comes back to life again just like Jesus died to pay for the sins of the whole world both Jew and all the Gentile nations and then rose from the dead as a sign of his acceptance with his Divine Father regarding his offering up of himself.

Very beautiful stories for sharing the Christian message with children.

I love those books. I even went to Camp Narnia growing up! I never actually got the whole Christian allegory thing until I was older. Now, I generally just put it aside and try to enjoy them as they are and not look too deep into it. I don't really enjoy the diguised religious message idea, but I still love the books.

My teacher did a whole thing with that. All the symbolism and then we had to take a test on it
