To be fair, they were written out of canon chronological order

Book 2: the lion the witch and the wardrobe (1950)

Book 4: Prince caspian (1951)

Book 5: the voyage of the dawn treader (1952)

Book 6: The silver chair (1953)

Book 3: the horse and his boy (1954)

Book 1: The magician’s nephew (1955)

Book 7: the last battle (1956)

never has there been a series with more underutilized background lore than the Chronicles of Narnia. book one establishes that there exists a world-between-the-worlds, an infinite glade that can be accessed only via ancient Atlantean magic, fractaling in all directions with infinite crystal-clear pools of water representing the various dimensions of the multiverse—dimensions which contain realms of gods and technology, and magic of various types, and different magical systems for each dimension, and dead worlds, and worlds that have not yet sprung to life, and a million other wonders. book two has a talking beaver

#I like the horse and his boy best but I would never recc it to a newbie first because it’s the most islamophobic #there is no way of ignoring that #the best movie though imho was the silver chair adaption by the bbc #the best Disney movie one was I think Prince caspian #I saw a play adaption of TLTWaTW in Canada and Aslan was made out of Narnia book pages it was kickass #inspired me to make my Pevensie family adaption Black English #I think this series and a wrinkle in time really informed my faith as a kid #then I read Discworld and I think those three really affected how I view Christianity #plus PJO but like that’s such a given in my head I forgot to mention it lol #I did have a kids Bible as a kid but it was like reading through a #connected version of grimms fairy tales to me as a kid #I liked it but I did not get more drawn to god that way I think #it did encourage me to think and solidify my morals though which is a genuinely cool thing for a kid to think about
