DD is nagging to read my copy of the afore mentioned book and I have said no so far as I have had it since I was a kid and I don't trust her not to spoil it. I am also unsure of the right age for it. She can read anything but I want her to understand and enjoy it as well.

I have never heard of the Magician's Nephew. I will have a look for it, who wrote it please?

7 is the right age - I got them for Christmas and read the whole series in a few weeks.

The Magician's Nephew is the first in the series, so it makes sense to start with that one.

Read it to her. Or buy a cheap copy or go to library

Has she read The Magician's Nephew? That's the place to start. I seem to remember it being a little more gentle that the later books.

You would think.

If she's old enough to read anything then I assume she's old enough to understand how to look after a book. Otherwise, get it out of the library.

I had the Chronicles of Narnia bought for me for my 7th birthday and I devoured them.
