Date: 2015-06-25 11:19 am (UTC)I'm going to be the odd one out in never having read them. They weren't something that ever came up even though I was a voracious reader as a child. I was vaguely aware they were out there, but don't recall ever picking up a copy, nor having them mentioned at (Catholic) school.
So the first time I knew they were a Christian allegory was when I read the entry on them in the Encyclopaedia of Fantasy, and that completely put me off ever reading them. I have this vague memory of sitting there going 'He did what?!? In a kids book!?!' I'm uncomfortable with Christian evangelization at the best of times (no matter I'm Catholic) and this struck me as being almost abusive in nature.
