This is my favorite book in the entire world.
I don't think bookworms are supposed to be able to choose (whenever someone asks me they are genuinely shocked that I can pick a favorite), but this is mine. I love it. I have re-read it so many times I've lost count. I've owned countless copies. Having it read to me was a new experience, but the story is one I've experienced countless times.
I'm not sure what else to say about something that has always touched me so deeply. Hazel and Fiver and Bigwig will always be characters that live in the back of my head, touchstones I compare other characters to as I continue my reading journey through life.
The only thing I can really say is this: the first time I finished this book, I flipped it over and started it again. When the audio finished today, more than 20 years after the first time I read it, I considered doing the same.

I'd like to nominate Uncle Andrew for the "most nefarious literary uncles" list. Someone has to keep one of those somewhere, right?
This is honestly one of my favorite Narnia books and always has been. The start of things is almost always one of my favorite parts of any series, and this is the beginning of Narnia. (I will also fight to the death about it being the first book in the series and not "The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe" but that's beside the point.)
Seeing certain characters for the very first time and the very beginnings of how things were before the Pevensies stumble upon the land is always fun, and the audiobook version of this was a delight from beginning to end. It felt like someone was reading me the story again, and that was a lot of fun.
