The Chronicles of Narnia Adult Box Set

Overview

The Complete Chronicles of Narnia

Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil -- what more could any reader ask for? The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written in 1949 by Clive Staples Lewis, had all this and more. But Lewis did not stop there. Six more books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia.

For the past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a land where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations. Now, some of the most noted actors of our times have come together to read these extraordinary works.

This timeless boxed set includes all seven unabridged recordings: The Magician's Nephew; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; The Horse and His Boy; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; The Silver Chair; and The Last Battle. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to readers of all ages, even fifty years after they were first published.


***Rental Subscribers: Please note that although each book in the series is labelled individually (ie Last Battle labels read CDs 1-5), the entire package is labelled as a whole in our system (ie Last Battle is CDs 27-31 of this package).

Narnia

Excellent presentation can't cover the fact that these are children's books. Just be aware that they are not the movies; they are very brief stories and I found, as an adult, hard to listen to back to back. But the readers are amazing and the stories charming.

Not what I expected

I don't know exactly what I expected, but this wasn't it. I did enjoy the books, don't get me wrong, but they didn't keep my attention the way I thought they would. It was easy to "put it down" and listen to the radio for a while. Normally on my morning commutes I can't wait to turn on the book I'm listening to and forget about everything else (except traffic of course). I don't think I'll read the next set of the series right now...maybe when I've read a lot of things on my list I'll come back to it.

My wife and I listen to these books while driving. This set of cd's was our favorite. The story was moving and interesting with many surprises and a happy ending. Lewis is a good story teller.

It has taken me awhile to get through these, but I have to say they were quite enjoyable. They kept my interest and are great for kids. I had always wanted to read them as a kid and never got around to it.

CS Lewis is a genius. Read this alone or with your kids, it's very well written and engrossing.

The Magician's Nephew

Written by Prader on April 12th, 2007

  • Book Rating: 5/5

I can't believe I didn't read these books as a youth. The first book is fantastic. The reader is great. The writing is right on. I actually laughed out loud in the way the writer humorously described situations. I can't wait for the next volume.

In my top five favorite books of all time! I found it charming and witty, though written for a child it was refreshing and wonderful for me and I've recommended it to my whole family. I intend to buy it so my little ones can enjoy it together. Free of language and "adult" content it was insiprational and gave me the energy I needed to get through a very stressful period. I found the religious parallels so well written that in one part of the story I thought to myself this is hope I hope it all ends and we find ourselves for eternity. The characters were so delightful - Reepycheep the mouse was more valiant than any other character I've ever read about - and who wouldn't love Puddleglum? I only wish I had read it years ago!
