I think I started reading the chronicles around age ten.

Like the Hobbit and LoR, the Narnia chronicles have many layers of meaning that might be missed by those who read the books during their childhood.

I'm buying a boxed set that I plan on reading with my children.

C.S. Lewis wrote the Chronicles at about the same time Tolkein was writing LoR (during WWII).

Can we attribute some of the worlds greatest writers efforts as being influenced by Hitler and Nazi Germany?
