It's one of those well known books that I don't think I'd ever read, so I wanted to see what it was about. The opening raised my hopes for it, I thought all the kids showed great promise as characters, and even the "witches" at first, but things went downhill fairly fast after that. I don't know what I'd have made of it as a child; I liked the Narnia books well enough.
