The Anthropos series is a set that I grew up reading when I was younger. My mom somehow stumbled upon the books and I think initially read some of them to me, or maybe I read them on my own - I can't quite remember. It reminds me in a lot of ways of the Chronicles of Narnia but in a slightly different way. I loved this series.
