Another novel read... The Magician's Nephew.

Movie night has become a regular tradition lately.  With Sadie's fascination with Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies, along with her Harry Potter novels, we thought it was time to introduce her to The Chronicles of Narnia.  She has not seen The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe before.

With it being so long, we made it into a two-part affair. We finished it last night.  This led to a curiosity about the first novel in the series (that they never make a movie of, it seems):  The Magician's Nephew, originally published in 1955.

Since I am currently waiting for the next novel in Bernard Cromwell's The Saxon Tales (The Lords of the North), I decided to read the first Narnia book.  I started it last night and finished it today.  It is a short, somewhat weird book on the creation of Narnia and how evil entered into C.S. Lewis' fantasy world.  Interesting, but overly silly. Still worth a read with a significant religious meaning that is at the heart of Lewis' writing.  

Now if only my ordered Cromwell book will come in the mail.  I am ready to see what Uhtred is up to!
