Love how the Wardrobe recommendation ties the Narnia backstory to the holiday nostalgia theme. The way CS Lewis blended Christian allegory with childhood wonder is somthing that gets lost in our current era of explicit worldbuilding. I grew up reading these over Christmas break and dunno if kids today get that same sense of discovery when everythings wikis and lore dumps. The epistolary format of Last Christmas in Paris sounds like it could recreate some of that slow-burn magic.

I know there is a certain magic to reading from when we were younger. I do think that’s why I appreciate epistolary vibes so much. Happy holidays!
