NaBloPoMo # 29: Sunday Mini Review: The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis

I liked almost everything in this book. The meeting of Digory and Polly, the strange passageway between their houses, the 'mad' uncle Andrew and his aspirations to become a magician, his magic rings and the making of Narnia by strong and brave Aslan, the lion.
I was also in awe of the description of the doomed kingdom Charns, where the evil queen/witch Jadis ruled.

I wonder  if Narnia is still magical?!

Sunday Mini Reviews: Five Go To Smuggler's Top by Enid Blyton

The Famous Five is just one of the many series British writer Enid Blyton wrote, but this is the most famous one. Blyton died before I was born, but I read all the books in the Famous Five series, and I loved them dearly.

My favorite one was Five Go To Smuggler's Top in which Julian, Dick, Anne, George and the dog Tim are spending the Easter holidays in a large, old house used to be a smuggler's nest. When they discover signalling at night and underground tunnels, the suspense is almost unbearable!

Does kids today enjoy The Famous Five series? I know it is still published.
