Reading Narnia as an Adult

The Chronicles of Narnia aren't just for children. In fact, Lewis wrote fairy tales because that's the way he could say what needed to be said. They can be read on a child's level and on an adult level. He even wrote to a young girl concerning The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe:

“But someday you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think.”
Let's take one down from the shelf and learn from one another.

Text: The Voyage of the “Dawn Treader” or one of the other six your group would like to discuss.
