Favorite Narnia book

Mine, by a hair, would have to be The Horse and His Boy because it gives a glimpse both of Narnia during its Golden Age and of other parts of Narnia's world. Narnia seems the most real in this book, although it does so in the other books as well. I especially like how this book focuses on new characters, then shows how they view the original characters we know and love. I also love any story with a case of mistaken identity (the one in this book reminds me of The Prince and the Pauper, though that may not have been Lewis' intention).

I also like a Horse and His Boy.

In a close second would be Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

My least favorite, easily, is the first one. I pretty much like the ones without Peter and Lucy and all the rest. The Magician's Nephew and The Last Battle are good too.

Horse and his Boy, yes!

I completely agree... Horse and His Boy is THE BEST one of them...

In my opinion, it goes:
1. The Horse and His Boy
2. The Silver Chair
3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
4. Prince Caspian
5. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
6 The Last Battle
7. The Magician's Nephew

I like them all... but the Magicians Nephew is definatly much worse than the rest of them...

In fact, during the past three hours, I just reread the Horse and his Boy... and it was even better than I remembered... there are few children's books that get better with the age of the reader, but Narnia Series is one of them.

Yes, and I think part of the reason is that we read them when we're very young and we imagine all of Narnia just like a real country, then when we go back to them it's like going back to someplace we actually visited in our childhood and had almost forgotten about. I love the scenes when the children are transported to Narnia from our world...it makes magic really seem possible.

I really have a difficult time choosing a favorite, but it would have to be the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I like the way Eustace is changed and that it actually takes to him. I guess because there are certain members of my family that never seem to learn from something that life has taught them. It might be nice to have some of them turned to dragons! lol :D I would agree with nome1486 about "The Horse and His Boy", though. That would be my second pick. ;)

The Horse and His Boy.

By the way, do any of you see a "connection" between Aslan and Jesus? I don't know whether that's the right way to put it, though.

My least favourite book would be The Last Battle. It is supposed to have won the Carnegie award, the highest mark of excellence for children's literature, but I found it boring enough... :-) The ending was good, but the happenings wasn't...

I don't understand the question and the poll... could someone care to explain it to me?

The guy who posted this poll waaaaaay back in 2003 selected 7 options for the poll, but forgot to title each option so all the 'yes, no, maybe, etc...' are the defualt options when you try to publish a poll. In the last 2 years since this was posted most people have figured out how to work forums better. Did I mention this thread is from 2003?

Hey! Is there anyone that wants to help with the promotion of the Disney/Walden movie: NARNIA: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe? We are looking for true fans of Narnia. If you are interested, please drop us an email at [email protected].

Thank you!

This thread started in 2003 and it's still on page one? I'm not sure how that happens, but I digress. I agree with the majority; The Horse and His Boy is my favorite one of the series. Perhaps it reminded me of Mister Ed, or maybe it was the setting, I cannot say for sure...

Silver Chair.

I feel like the true minority here, though I have not read the Narnia Series since childhood, but I would have to choose The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, though I very much enjoyed all of the novels.

Since a few days ago I haven't even heard about Narnia, let alone knowing there's more than one book! Still not sure what it's all about.
