The Last Battle – Part One
Friday, July 31st, 2009This is the first of a two-part series covering the final book in the Chronicles of Narnia, The Last Battle. In this book Lewis brings the story of Narnia to a fitting end.

The Magician’s Nephew
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009The book for today’s show is The Magician’s Nephew, a personal favorite of mine.

He wrote The Last Battle and The Magician’s Nephew at the same time, but finished The Last [...]
