Flying Horse

[threemonkeys]

For reasons too boring to go into, I found myself with a copy of The Magicians's Nephew by C.S. Lewis. Because it was a prequel which answered a number of questions and did the origin myth thing, I always liked this one more than most of the Narnia books. But then it has been a long time since I read any. Reading it hasn't changed my opinion. It is still a charming, if somewhat condescending, children's story and it still has a rather disturbing sermonising religious subtext. Luckily, the subtext can be ignored and the charm enjoyed.
