*Children’s Books: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Children’s Books Category for the classic Chronicles of Narnia by C S Lewis. We have several volumes of this much-loved seven book series in stock in cheap paperback editions (I fondly remember the Puffins), sadly missing at present the first (The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe) and the last (The Last Battle). In my opinion, the series started brilliantly, and the second and third volumes, Prince Caspian and The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, maintained the high standards of the beginning. After that, the quality dropped off somewhat, although I do have a soft spot for The Horse And His Boy. I’m afraid the Last Battle descended into a quasi-mystical melange of religious mumbo-jumbo that made about as much sense as the last episode of Lost. There is however, much to enjoy in the earlier volumes. All illustrated by the estimable Pauline Baynes.
