One of my favorite parts in the entire book...
Aslan creating Narnia.
...With his voice. He sings.
And it's very ironic that I love it so much...because as many times as I've read it, I still can't imagine what it sounds like. Lewis doesn't give much detail, but then he gives enough that you know you could never think up a singing voice to match it.
But what are your thoughts on Aslan's voice? What do you "picture" when reading Magician's Nephew?

It's the color of golden sunlight, and the texture of strong wind, I think.

It is curious that Narnia and Middle Earth were sung into existence! It is hard to immagine such a rich and awesome event.
But I couldn't help but be delightfully surprised in the movie when I heard Alsan's voice. Especially his laugh when he comes back to life...it still rings in my mind! Powerful....engaging...magical....

I agree, Sinbearer. I had hoped that they would find a decent voice for Aslan, but I think Liam Neeson did a superb job. He made Aslan sound warm and fatherly, but also regal and menacing to his enemies.
Perhaps my favourite part of MN is when Aslan sings Narnia into existance. It seems fitting, somehow, like the world is more magical because of it.

I like that part too. My family borrowed the BBC dramatised audio version of The Magician's Nephew from the library, and so I've always pictured that voice (I think it was Stephen Thorne who read the part) as being the voice of Aslan. I'm more a visual person, so its what I see during that scene that is far more vivid than what I hear...
