I wanted to thank you for your endorsement to read the Narnia Chronicles in the order written. I adore all the books (I have read them several times myself and with my children and we have listened to them on audio CDs). I can't imagine reading them in any other order as I have told several others when they start the series.<BR/>I just recently saw the movie and was a little disappointed how much they strayed from the original story, but, that is Hollywood for you! They did it in the first film as well. <BR/>Thanks also for the book recommendations. I love to read and always need something on my "to read next" list. In fact I have a pile of books 5 deep next to my bed! <BR/>Keep up the great work.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08829287682754222623noreply@blogger.com
