I really enjoyed Narnia. Pretty much hated LOTR though, too tedious

Not half! I always have to go back to Tolkien every few years, as he said it all for his particular seam of fantasy, as well as much about companionship, loyalty and the tribulations of life.

I can also recommend “Tolkien and the Great War” by John Garth, which shows how the First World War made the man and the book.

I’ve looked at the course offerings at some writers’ conferences, and one one track is about taking your fantasy novel out of the medieval time frame. But truth is, I’ve always been fascinated with that era. Plus, LOTR was my first fantasy read.

That doesn’t mean it’s passé

Just means expanding the time frames

Actually was just listening to Narnia again. Absolutely, the best fantasy written in my opinion. ☺️ besides the Hobbit. My mom and dad got me those books along with a Star Wars novel and so my life was changed forever. ?

I love LOTR, but haven’t read it in years. I had a very bad introduction to Narnia, so I’ve only read The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. I always wonder if it’s worth revisiting or if it isn’t as good as an adult ?

@Allison IMHO, there’s something there for everyone, young or old ?

I love the Chronicles of Narnia. My husband and I both love CS Lewis and made sure to name our firstborn with the initials CS (since our last name is Lewis). I also like LOTR.

Narnia isn’t too likely to fade from popularity while it remains in most North American schools curriculum.
