I‘ve only seen the films before and also read this book first. It filled some gaps I had and gave information for the storyline, for example: „Where did the lamp in Narnina come from?“ and „Why did this Uncle just have to had a magical wardrobe?“. 
I liked the book BUT there are a lot references to Christianity and the book is also kinda misogynistic. Especially the last one I do not like at all but sadly for the time the book was written in (1955), it was normal.
