The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. My brother borrowed the book from school. I was feeling ill that day, so picked up the book when he was outside playing with friends. Read all evening to finish the book!
My first was Wardrobe, like many others I suspect. And Lucy was Lucy Barfield, Lewis' goddaughter.
I have one of your quotes posted in my house: “I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Aslan to lead it. I’m going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn’t any Narnia.” I want Puddleglum's faith.
That quote is in my office as well. My wall is covered in Inklings. In addition to that quote, I have old map posters from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, faux travel posters for Middle-earth locations, and a print of Lewis and Tolkien talking inside the Eagle & Child. Inspiration everywhere I look. Though I really want the Pauline Baynes Narnia map.

Lucy Barfield
What a lovely, serendipitous introduction!

Let's see . . .
My first CSL book was "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," as I suspect it will be for many others.
Lucy was named after Lucy Barfield, CSL's godchild.
