I don’t know if I can pick a favorite. I love the part in _Caspian_ when Lucy is the first to see Aslan again, and remarks at how much bigger he is. And he says something like, “It is not me that has grown, but you. The older you get, the bigger I will seem.” I hope the new movie uses the dialogue from the book. _Dawn Treader_ is probably my favorite, but I also love _The Horse and His Boy_. _Magician’s Nephew_ would be my least favorite, if I had to pick one, but I woudn’t say I dislike it. ---

I did a count of where things stand so far. The posts kind of defy counting, and of course I don’t capture second (and below) favorites. Anyway: LWW 1 PC 2 DT 5 H&HB 8 SC 3 MN 6 LB 2 I guess I’m a surprised, in this highly reliable statistical sample, that LWW is making such a poor showing. Other than that, seems pretty reasonable. ---

Dawn Treader, definitely. Also, put me down as liking LWW the least. I just don’t think it’s very good, especially held up against some of the others. I also liked Last Battle. ---

Yes, I’m pleasantly surprised to find that not everyone despises LB! ---

[QUOTE=MissMossie] I think The Last Battle is actually my favorite. I didn’t realize that it was so disliked. I have an irrational fear of the end of the world, but I found Lewis’ portrayal of my fear comforting. The Magician’s Nephew is a close second. I love creation mythology. [/QUOTE] I remember the last book for its call of _Upward and inward!_ Or something along those lines. ---
