I read these books when I was 10 years old (1969). I checked out each one from the library and spent time in my upper bunk bed wishing I was in Narnia. I gave the whole series to my nieces, who seem to think fantasy was just invented.

CS Lewis is my favorite Christian author. I think he does a great job of tying together abstract supernatural elements, based on his dabbling, with a practical theological Christian perspective (like the Screwtape Letters). I really, really enjoy his Space Trilogy. I’ve hesitated on exposing my younger relatives to his work for children, I feel like there’s too much with all of the magic that I have to explain and put in perspective. Glad you are enjoying the series though!

There are several that I felt comfortable sharing with my children when they were 7 and nieces and nephews too. You may still have to explain some things, but the books do spark imagination and adventure. Just be ready to explain some of the acts that may be disturbing. My family enjoyed them all.

7 and up? Are you sure about that? Thanks for the tip: I think I know what we might be reading in 2013!
