How about the Xanth series by Piers Anthony?

Obviously it has to be asked, is it kid friendly?

I'm almost positive it's kid friendly; It was a long time ago that I read it though. The puns would probably entertain you, Phil, but the story itself would be good for the boy. For example, in Ogre, Ogre, the main character (an ogre) gets infected with Eye Queue, and the story is about him trying to get rid of his sudden intelligence

To be honest, they're easy reads - you can probably make it through one in a few days of your own time, so you can determine whether you want to censor it or not... I really wish I remembered more man.

Fantasy written at the level of a 7-year old, you say? How about George W Bush's Memoirs!!! sorry - couldn't resist.

Phil, you mentioned CS Lewis. I read the Narnia Chronicles when I was a kid and really enjoyed it.

Narnia, the Hobbit, a Wrinkle in Time (don't remember if that was fantasy). I don't recall what age it would be appropriate for, but the Elvenborn series might be another. There's the Eragon series, but I didn't find it all that good.

Ooh, The Dark is Rising. That was really good. Definitely check into that one. I remember I loved it.
