I somehow made it through my childhood (arguable) without reading any of the seven Chronicles, the most famous of which is The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe; my loss.
While the stories have an unmistakable religious philosophy to them, they also read beautifully as a fantasy series – well, dah! It is easy to see how the Chronicles set the template for many later works, not the least of which is Harry Potter. Good bedtime reading – as "children’s" books should be.
