I love these books.

There's something so comforting about a re-read, especially in the winter when you're all snuggled up and you have to look up, once again, what turkish delight is.

My favorites are the first (which is The Magician's Nephew and yes, I will die on that hill) and the last; there's something very lovely about seeing the start and end of the magical land that I always find so very charming. Reading them in order and watching time pass is interesting; I'm not sure I can think of another series that has such a clear chronology over such a long time period and yet contains the same characters?

I'm glad I jumped for the audiobook version for this re-read, too--the little musical riffs played between chapters were cute and the narration was excellent.
