I think everything that could be said about these books has already been said. But, I can't resist adding my own love of this series here. I first read "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" in 4th grade. And then again in high school. In college, I discovered all the series, and read them all several times over. I think CS Lewis is brilliant.
I didn't even realize that this series is meant to be a metaphor for Christianity. I'm an atheist, though an ex-Catholic, and I totally missed that bit in the books! But, looking back, I can see some of the Christian themes. Although, these can be easily ignored for us non-Christians.
I think my favorites are the first 3 books. After that, they're still brilliant, but I really loved one of the characters and this character doesn't make it all the way through (I don't want to give away any spoilers).
Anyway, these are timeless books. I'd give them to any child, and enjoy watching them discover the magic of CS Lewis.
