A month ago, I wrote that I was going to be participating in Carrie’s Chronicles of Narnia reading challenge. I was going to explore the meaning behind the Chronicles. I was going to go deep.
But, I was in the midst of a frantic 5-week summer class and finishing up my last few weeks of clinical rotations, and I didn’t end up getting as much read as I wanted to. I didn’t read the whole series. I just read one book: The Magician’s Nephew. But I went deeper into the Magician’s Nephew than I ever have before.
I wrote up my thoughts separately, on a page in my “books” section. I’d love for you to take a look at what I learned from The Magician’s Nephew:
**Addendum added June 25, 2011: I am in the process of moving all my reviews on to the blog proper on the WordPress platform, so these are no longer listed separately in the “books” section–although they can be found linked to from the books page.**
- The Point of The Magician’s Nephew
- Case Studies in Greatness: Uncle Andrew
- Case Studies in Greatness: Jadis
- Case Studies in Greatness: Aslan
- Digory Meets Greatness
