The tale of Taran’s search to find his identity. A quest that leads him once again to the Marshes the Morva and finally to the Mirror of Llunet. On his way, Taran passes through many dangers, the evil wizard Morda and a band of mercenaries, ultimately finding the knowledge of who he really is.
This book is very interesting. There’s not as much sword-swinging going on as in some of the other books in the Prydain Chronicles, but don’t be deterred by that! There are enemies, captures, escapes, an evil wizard…(audience gasps). Eilonwy is only mentioned in this book, good old Doli’s back, along with Fflewddur Flam and his huge wildcat, Llyan. To sum up, please read this one!

While Digory and Polly, two friends, are exploring their London homes, they accidentally get into the study of Digory’s Uncle Andrew. Uncle Andrew is (or what he fondly imagines himself to be) a magician and he sends first Polly and then Digory into the woods between the worlds. Where they enter yet another world and find a witch, who they accidentally take back to London. In the scramble that ensues, they manage to get the witch, Uncle Andrew and several other people into a world that is just being created. The world that contains Narnia.
This is one of my favorite Narnian books. The tale of Narnia’s creation is definitely a classic. Good friends, Aslan, interesting adventures and some very funny parts. Definitely a must read.

Jill Pole and Eustace Scrubb are called to Narnia for a special purpose. King Caspian, now old and nearing death, has no heir to the royal throne. His only son, Rilian, disappeared years ago. Aslan assures Jill and Eustace that the prince is still alive and must be found. Guided by signs from Aslan, Jill and Eustace join Puddleglum, the gloomy marshwiggle, to embark on a quest to rescue Prince Rilian from the evil witch who is holding him captive.
The Narnia stories are more than books, they’re old friends. Every time I re-read them it’s like visiting a very dear friend. The Silver Chair is one of my favorites.

When Shasta, a slave in Calormen tries to escape to Narnia, he is shown the way by a Narnian horse, Breehy-Hinny-Brinny-Hoohy-Hah. Bree for short. Traveling with them are Aravis and her horse, Hwin. On their way, Shasta is mistaken for a runaway prince, and Aravis uncovers a plot against Narnia and its neighbor, Archenland. In the race to save Archenland, Shasta and Aravis must cross the desert and alert King Lune to the threat of invasion.
This is one of my favorite Narnia books. I like it a little better than The Lion, the Witch and Wardrobe, but not as well as The Magician’s Nephew and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Plenty of action, enough tense moments to allow you to enjoy it, (but not enough to scare you silly) and some great characters.

Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are four English children who are sent to live with an old professor during World War II. When Lucy finds a world called Narnia, where animals can talk, in a magic wardrobe, nobody believes her. Then all four children hide in the wardrobe from the house’s grumpy mistress and find that Narnia is real. Now they must join Aslan, the son of the Emperor-Over-The-Sea, to drive the White Witch from Narnia and put the rightful rulers on the throne.
This book is a favorite of mine. I like it as much when I read it now as I did when it was read to me. Narnia is something that never gets old, but as you get older you enjoy it even more. The characters and places are very real and well described. Once you read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, you will feel that you must read the rest of the Chronicles of Narnia.
