This was my bedtime book with Alex, after finishing up Watership Down. I've actually read it before myself, but it was new to him. It's a lovely and strange story, full of quirky fantasy and reminiscent in some ways of those odder bits of children's fantasy such as Alice or Oz (especially the books, which are odder than the films in many ways). There are at least two more in the series (of which I have read one but not the other), so I imagine we'll be seeing these characters again at bedtime, though not next, as next up is Voyage of the Dawn Treader, as we make our way through the rest of Narnia (four down, three to go).
