If the moment the Pevensies push past the fur coats and into the lamppost-lit snow gave you a jolt of wonder, you’ll love how Milo drives through a toy tollbooth and finds himself in the Kingdom of Wisdom. Like Lucy’s tea with Mr. Tumnus or the romp to Mr. and Mrs. Beaver’s dam, Milo’s meetings with Tock and the Humbug turn playfulness into adventure—and his journey to rescue Rhyme and Reason carries the same delight in discovering that a curious child can tip the balance of a whole world.

If Aslan’s arrival at the Stone Table or the thaw that breaks the White Witch’s winter filled you with quiet awe, The Last Unicorn will speak to that same wonder. As the unicorn journeys with Schmendrick and Molly through forests and crumbling keeps, the story shimmers with the kind of enchantment you felt at the lamppost in the woods and the coronation at Cair Paravel—beautiful, bittersweet, and shot through with the sense that the world is holier and larger than it first appears.

If Edmund’s betrayal and Aslan’s sacrifice on the Stone Table moved you—the way mercy and bravery transform a child’s heart—MacDonald’s tale will feel like kin. Princess Irene’s trust in her mysterious great‑great‑grandmother’s guiding thread, and Curdie’s growth from skepticism to courage, echo the moral clarity you liked in Narnia: goodness costs, choices matter, and light quietly overcomes what lurks beneath the mountain, much as the Witch’s winter gives way to spring.

If the beavers’ hurried packing, the march to the Stone Table, and the final stand against the White Witch gripped you, Bilbo’s journey with Thorin and company will scratch that same itch. Like Peter leading his siblings toward Cair Paravel, Bilbo leaves a cozy home, gains courage through scrapes with trolls, spiders, and a dragon, and returns changed. It’s that crisp, goal‑driven adventure—mission first, heart always—that made chasing winter from Narnia so satisfying.

If you loved watching the Pevensies grow—from frightened children in a wardrobe to kings and queens at Cair Paravel—meet Taran, who stumbles from Assistant Pig‑Keeper into true bravery. Alongside Eilonwy and Fflewddur Fflam, his mishaps and hard choices echo Edmund’s redemption and Peter’s dawning responsibility. Like Lucy learning when to trust and when to stand firm, Taran learns what heroism costs as he faces Arawn’s shadows and protects what he loves.
