The Chronicles Of Narnia

                   I do enjoy reading children's books such as Lewis Carroll or the Philip Pullman novels in fact it was the Harry Potter stories that got me back into reading after years of abstinence, l had no idea that it was children's book week so it comes as no surprise for coincidences seem to run continually throughout my life, that i have just received the complete set of Narnia books  after a successful bid on e-bay.   When i was young the schools i attended did not go in much for children's stories in fact in yr4  we were subjected to the tales of the holy roman emperor Charlemagne and Roland his sidekick, a kind of medieval Batman and Robin. but without the fun, which was heavy going for a ten yr old. so i've quite a bit of catching up to do as Huck Finn and Jim Hawkins still have the power to transport me to those wonderful magical places inside the imagination that only a good children's book can provide.
