    Only a 2.5 (below average) because there's not much in there that a true Narnian wouldn't know already...

    I first entered Narnia as a child, simply pushing the fur coats aside and stepping through the wardrobe into the snowy world near the lamp post. I didn't need a guide book. Things just unfolded and I went with the flow of wonders. I came back for an extended visit when I was expecting my first child. There were concepts there that I had not noticed before as "concepts". I felt inspired and doubly moved by its beauty. Now, I'm at the "grandma" age if not yet in that reality. I've popped back in to visit old friends and this guide book is truly a "companion." I realize that the word "companion" in the title refers to the fact that this volume is a companion to the Narnia books, but for me the title has a double meaning, in that it is also my companion on the journey to Narnia, my tour guide, so to speak.This book takes you by the hand and encourages you to look closer, gently pointing out the secrets of the locale that only the natives might know. It gives insights and provokes thought and dialogue. It is a neat holistic view that encourages an appreciation for the big picture by illuminating the subtle details. It is also the kind of tribute to the minute of one's heroes that all "fans" love to pour over. If you are a young person just let Lucy help you find your way into Narnia and I assure you that you will have a splendid time, but if you are a bit older I recommend this travelog and the company of this wonderfully helpful and insightful book.This book also contains an insightful foreward by Madeleine L'Engle, author of "A Wrinkle in Time".

    This edition corrects many of the mistakes from the previous edition (comments on "adults" in the series comes to mind in particular). An essential guide to Narnia -- the appendices are superb, and the introduction gives several books for further research into Narnia and Lewis.

    Whenever I reread the Narnia series, this is right by my elbow to help keep every person and place straight!

    5/5
    An absolutely exhaustive reference, thoroughly detailing even the most minor people, places, events and themes. A must have for any lover of the realm. Narnia and the North! Long live the High King!
