Me again. 🤦🏼♀️ Finally finished this episode. I feel like a fool for not reading the books in publication order! Great talk, guys. Thank you! On to Horse and His Boy.
Wow, I did NOT get all this out of Magicians Nephew when I read it. Reading it again! I’m almost done with the space trilogy and then I’ll reread it. One fact I do know, the sick mother reflected Lewis’s childhood. Thanks for this!
Having read these books in the order in which CS Lewis originally had recommended, at least 10 times over I tend to disagree with this gentleman's contradiction of cs Lewis's recommendation that the magician's nephew be read first. This gentleman is thinking like a grown up and not a child whose imaginations are expansive and more than elastic enough to extrapolate upon details such as lamppost mountains histories, and other supposed loose strings that he postulates CS Lewis may have left untied. In every story there are lines and avenues left unexplored to be later picked up in other tales. Indeed beginning at the beginning makes the most sense. The lessons in every one of these books are timeless, and timely. One might not be surprised if they were written upon this very hour. Even though theyre expressed as children's stories they are very much written for adults as well - indeed it is an onion in reverse every book expands on the next into larger worlds, more complex problems as populations and political differences rise. Magic is everywhere you looks, as is intercession. There are believers, agnostics, scoffers, good and evil, even a little physics. Further up and further in. Aslan is on the move indeed.
I’m so excited to have found this series!
well done, men.

Did Lewis have a wayward uncle? It seems he also uses the bad uncle motif in Pilgrim's Regress as well.
