This is still one of my my favourite stories – (and favourite characters…) and so it was for my children as well. I guess most of you know them…? How do you remember their impact if you read them as a child?
My books mostly came from Denmark. My first picture books were in Danish: Little Krista Goes to Flowerland and The Ugly Duckling and dad had to read them to me; later I received an entire collection of Han Christian Andersen in English – the ones I remember most were the two saddest ones: The Little Match Girl and The Little Mermaid, the original very un-Disney-like version. I have never read Narnia – obviously need to get on it!
Oh , those two were the saddest of sad. I always wonder why Disney changes stories for a happy ending. Stories are stories, and in real life they do not always come with a Disney ending.
Mon Dieu! Is this Aslan? Narnia is one of the best stories ever! I used to believe that my own wardrobe could move me there too. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Do you know ‘The water babies’? It’s another interesting story for children. It’s not as bewitched as ‘Narnia’ but full of morals.

Häftiga figurer och lilla rödhaken
Robin var en mycket liten skulptur i den ena bilden…så jag klippte till med en riktig Robin också.

I will check that up! thank you! Narnia, has got the depth for grown-ups as well.
🙂 It’s a story for all the ages alike the Lord of the Rings.
Ah – I will check it up!
Ah, Narnia! I read it aged nearly 7, I think….it was the first book without pictures that I read by myself
Impact? Thoughts? I was totally absorbed.
Well, indeed so was I at that age….
How wonderful to have a garden/ park with all these characters. My daughter and I loved Narnia.
💖Did you have a favourite character?
Azlan 🙂
😊Me too.
”Narnia” is one of our sons favourite stories as well!
And you are living close to magnificent animals all the time!
That is so, but the Narnians take the magic to a whole new level for him.
They do. How I loved those books.
Love those sculptures.
