One of the very best things about these books is the lovely language - my favourite sentence is "Of course, if the children had attempted a journey like this a few days ago in England, they would have been knocked up." The magic and mystery of narnia still holds sway. I saw the movie of Prince Caspian Recently and enjoyed it a great deal, but this and the BBC radio drama (not the newer tosh but the originals) is still the very best.
