The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
by C S Lewis (HarperCollins)

Many readers are prejudiced when it comes to the Chronicles of Narnia. The truth is they are not for unexperienced readers, the structure does demand a little more concentration and you do have to read a good few pages to get into it but once you're there you won't be disappointed. The secret world of Narnia is fascinating as it is unsettling.
