A Very Special Book for a Very Special Girl

Keith's niece Marilyn is in second grade this year. But she's reading at a fourth grade level. And she really loves books. Keith and I decided it was time to pass on a special love to her this Christmas. We hunted all over for just the right version, and finally settled on this...


And on the inside, we're writing this note...
Dear Marilyn,

With this book, you are about to start a magical adventure that may just last your whole life. It did for us. And when you meet Edmund and Lucy and Susan and Peter, and Eustace and Jill, and Aslan (especially Aslan), well, we think you’re going to have some new best friends.
 
The books in this volume are set up chronologically, but they were first written in a different order. And we think that’s really the best way to read them. So when you start reading, don’t start with Book One. Start with the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and then follow our list from there.

1. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
2. Prince Caspian
3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
4. The Silver Chair
5. The Horse and His Boy
6. The Magician’s Nephew
7. The Last Battle

This book, or really series of books, is full of some of our favorite stories of all time. They’re very special to us, and we wanted to share them with a very special girl like you. We love you so much!

Merry Christmas 2011 from
Aunt Brooke & Uncle Keith
