How did we forget CS Lewis!! I remember reading all those books when I was a kid.
Has any one read the Harry Potter books by the way? I really enjoyed those and I didn't expect to. Couldn't put them down. I've already booked tickets to see the next film too....
Harry Potter has caused a bit of a debate among fantasy fans.....a few of us have been reluctant to check it out due to the alleged "childish" nature....but hey...if we like the Narnia stuff then we should give it a break I guess!
