These are children's books but the author's language and astuteness will captivate anyone of any age. The allegory is pretty transparent but the message is pure, unlike most Christian novels of today. Lewis' understanding of the religion is mostly unfettered by politics or prejudices (with the exception of the nemesis Calormenes, who are obviously fashioned after Middle Eastern Muslims).

Second only to Lord of the Rings and even that's debateable. It's close. Two completely different kinds of books, stories, and genre. CS Lewis wrote the books in a certain order and, despite that, a reader will gain far more from the entire series if you read them in chronological order of events inside the story.
