From Amazon.com: The many readers who discovered C.S. Lewis's Chronicles through The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will be delighted to find that the next volume in the series is actually the first in the sequence--and a step back in time. In this unforgettable story, British schoolchildren Polly and Digory inadvertently tumble into the Wood Between the Worlds, where they meet the evil Queen Jadis and, ultimately, the great, mysterious King Aslan. We witness the birth of Narnia and discover the legendary source of all the adventures that are to follow in the seven books that comprise the series.

This was a great book! I stayed up really late and read it all in one night (though it's not too long.) I actually read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe first, then found the other 6 Chronicles of Narnia books, so this first book in the series was the 2nd that I read. This book was a prequel to The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, which explains how Narnia came to exist and how the wardrobe with the doorway between our world and Narnia came to exist. The young boy, Digory, in this book is the elderly Professor that the children live with in the 2nd book of this series.

PLEASE NOTE THAT A COUPLE OF MEMBERS AT THE END OF THE SPIRAL WILL ONLY NEED TO RECEIVE CERTAIN BOOKS. I HAVE LISTED THE READERS FOR EACH BOOK INDIVIDUALLY. PLEASE SEND ME A PM IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. The last person to receive each book can decide to wild release it, send it as a RABCK to another bookcrosser, or pass it on to someone else who would like to read it.

IF YOU SEE ANY KNOWN STALLERS ON THIS LIST, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I understand that things happen in life that may cause someone to take a little longer than expected to read a book. That is no problem, but please be reasonable.

RELEASE NOTES:

The first 3 books in the Narnia series are on the way to Elsita in Portugal for an international spiral. I mailed these 3 together because I was done with them and international shipping from the U.S. has recently skyrocketed! They can all 3 be mailed together to the next participant or can be mailed separately, whichever works best for you guys.

Finally it has arrived safely!

Thanks, ladybug74!

What a lovely story it is how Narnia has born!

I can't write much about it or it won't be a surprise!
Thanks for sharing this, ladybug74!
