Describe your first Narnia reading experience
Posted: May 11, 2018 7:37 pm
What do you remember about your first time reading Narnia (the first book your read, or the whole series -- whatever you like).
I first read LWW in my fifth grade class. I was not impressed when I saw the cover page --- it had a faun and I thought it looked boring We read the first chapter at the end of the day, and I was immediately hooked. I couldn't stand that we were only reading one chapter every few days. So I snuck out the book from my desk to read at home a few days after we started it, and read it all!!!
I was already a bookworm at the time, but this book captured me in a way I hadn't yet experienced, and in a way I can't describe. It sent my imagination running. The greatest thing it did was give me a sense of wonder, as well as hope there was something more powerful out there than mundane every day existence I was experiencing.
I found out shortly after I read the book that the movie was coming out that winter, about 8 months later. Waiting that long was agony!
How about you? What was your first experience of Narnia like?
