The overhype around them puzzled me. I found the Chronicles of Prydain at the same time and adored those books and have them repeatedly over the decades. It was very interesting to return to this book in my forties, having published many fantasy books, and read a lot of middle grade. My impression of the book is much the same--just okay, rather dull, and significantly overhyped. Note that I'm not holding back discussion of spoilers here. That said, it's not a horrible book. Lewis is a fantastic writer--I've enjoyed a number of his books for adults. The dialogue between the siblings is great; he can write children well, especially the horrible Edmund. The setting creates an incredible mood. What I couldn't articulate as a child is much clearer to me now: the children have almost no agency, and in fact, almost nothing happens in the book. Lucy, and the others, stumble upon Narnia by accident. The good creatures of Narnia do everything for them as stand-ins for adults. The witch's deep winter begins thawing without the children doing anything. The children are handed powerful gifts that they just happen to know how to use (I guess Peter has had swordfighting lessons?). Even at the end, they leave Narnia by accident. The only major choices they make are Edmund's major betrayal and the girls' choice to follow and comfort Aslan at a pivotal point. By modern standards, they are useless as main characters. I suppose someone could argue that everything is being left to God, but I find that a weak point, because as far as action goes, they aren't even at "thoughts at prayers." They simply drift along and the plot happens for them--but this wasn't uncommon for books in this period, either. The symbolism around Aslan as Jesus is quite stark to me now but I don't mind how that was done. I really like the portrayal of Aslan as "good but scary." His sacrifice certainly is an intense moment. It would be interesting to see everything through his eyes; he's the major protagonist. Honestly, if we're going to ignore the plot, I would've just loved a gentle book where I get to enjoy tea and a meal with Mr. Tumnus and the Beavers, because I could read pages and pages about their houses and their bright personalities. A friendly read, but slapdash in its worldbuilding and thin on character. It’s a fairy tale so superficiality in some way is to be expected. More rewarding prose or plot would've been appreciated, however. There isn’t much to the story’s characters or plot beyond annoying younger brother Edmund who learns a bit of humility through suffering. New concepts enter seemingly at random and it wasn't mistaken for imagination. I don't find talking animals or vague feudal motifs novel, at least here in the 21st century. It’s hard for me not to be reminded of Lewis’ friend Tolkien whose own fantasy work(s) are much richer in character and world, and well-conceived in both from the get-go. If I understand the history of their writings correctly, neither expected their first stories to become part of a series, but The Hobbit provided me a considerably greater imagination to invest in. We know of brothers and sisters and Adam and Eve and winter and spring. There is nothing new to learn of those things in this book. They merely suggest quick reference points for young children (its main target audience) to understand. Perhaps this is the page-turner it is because the syntax is simple and the ideas are familiar. I probably wouldn't finish The Hobbit as fast as I have here, either, but I keep re-reading that one and its follow-ups. I liked this book/film as a child but returning to it as an adult hasn't provided me much new enthusiasm. I'll try the next one out of curiosity for the potentially non-linear(?) timeline of the wider series and its main character shake-ups (Peter and Susan go away?), but as a stand-alone tale I'm not sure I appreciate the long-lasting popularity.

Premier d'une série de sept volumes qui composent les "Chroniques de Narnia". Quatre enfants accèdent, par le fond d'une vieille armoire, à Narnia, monde imaginaire parallèle au nôtre. La sorcière blanche qui étend son hégémonie à tout le royaume, veut neutraliser ces intrus. Le lecteur entre, par cette porte dérobée, au monde fantaisiste de la féerie, peuplé d'êtres mythiques: sorcières, faunes, nains, dryades, naïades et autres. Pour les 9-10 ans.
