Would you share the Chronicles of Narnia books with your kids? (lemmygrad.ml)

I have fond memories of reading them when I was younger, but as I think about introducing them to kids I have some thoughts and issues:

  • The clear colonial bias - Narnia needing white British rulers to thrive.
  • Colorism/Xenophobia/Racism in the Horse and His Boy and The Last Battle.

Do the benefits of a neat magical fantasy world outweigh the issues? How would you approach it?

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously use an alt for this comm or keep it vague, otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.

  2. No antinatalism struggle sessions
