Narnia was introduced to me, by a teacher. I was nine years old. As with most people, for me, the introduction to C.S. Lewis’ incredible book series was The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
However this had not remained my favourite book in the series for long. The next book I had read, had been the Magician’s Nephew (actually the first book in the series).
The Magician’s Nephew had seen the kingdom of Narnia, breathed into life by Aslan, an all powerful, (yet most
