We just finished this yesterday afternoon, during a rare nap for Cora:
It's such a delightful book to read out loud, and frankly tons easier than the Wind in the Willows...haha! I only cried in one part, which surprised me: it's was the part where the 4 children were crowned king and queens of Narnia, and they were describing how each of them was as a ruler. The description of Edmund had me in tears..."Edmund the just." Ah, redemption. Layla wanted to know why I was crying, and all I told her was "because these are beautiful words to describe a beautiful change of heart." *happy sigh*
Good literature is worth a mountain of gold.
