I was a church kid who loved fantasy, so it's surprising that I never read The Chronicles of Narnia growing up. They're kind of slight in terms of story and allegorical to a fault, but I really like how they treat wonder and awe and imagination. The way Lewis engages with the idea that children have access to worlds of the mind that adults simply don't, and the way he allows his main characters to age out of the fantasy world, runs so counter to the "you can be a kid forever" mentality that it would feel kind of daring coming out today.
