Product Description
pJourneys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil -- what more could any reader ask for? iThe lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe/i, 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./p pFor 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./p pThis timeless boxed set includes all seven unabridged recordings: iThe Magician's nephew/i; iThe Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe/i; iThe Horse and His Boy/i; iPrince Caspian/i; iThe Voyage of the Dawn Treader/i; iThe Silver Chair/i; and iThe Last Battle/i. 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./p

Narnia - long live Azlan January 7, 2009
You got to read the whole book(s) in one sitting. I suggest reading in the Chronological order. Dont read it based on publish dates. For some reason, you can always reference when each book was written and then look back, but it helps keeps your "chain-links" in order. I am a linear person, and hate jumping around. either way great author!
Great Family Entertainment! September 28, 2008

"The Complete Chronicles of Narnia CD" set is one of my favorite all time purchases for my family! This is truly a bargain at this price for so many hours of quality entertainment that is safe for all ages.br /br /All seven of the The Chronicles of Narnia series are included (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). The writings of C.S. Lewis are firmly in realm of classic literature and, whether or not you choose to dwell on the obvious religious overtones, the story telling transcends the critics who would ban or promote these tales based solely on theological imagery.br /br /The production quality of the CDs and recordings is of the highest standards and I expect this set to last us many years.br /br /Highly recommend!br /

The Complete Chronicles of Narnia CD Box Setbr /br /I've greatly enjoyed having these books on CD. It's nice that the narrators speak with British accents. I enjoyed that as well. I'm very thankful that an elementary school teacher introduced me to The Chronicles of Narnia! It has truly been a lifelong love.
Outstanding Books on CDs July 21, 2008

The Complete Chronicles of Narnia CD Box Set was an outstanding purchase. Not only are the books well read by famous voices, but they are accurate to a word. I've heard all but the last two and will share them with my 7 year old granddaughter when I'm done to introduce her to C.S. Lewis. My only disappointment was that I could not load them on to my computer to put them on my ipod for my walks, but I listen from my CD player in the house and enjoy every moment. I highly recommend the attractive and well done set. It does include some illustrations in case you do not have the books in your library.

I have to agree with a previous review, this is a FANTASTIC Audio production. The actors reading the books do a superb job: to the point that at times I don't believe it is the same person reading the different parts. They put such enthusiasm and character in to the voices and the readings that it makes the book come alive. Also a previous review recommended a different order in the reading of the books and I have to agree that the following order worked well for me.br /1. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe br /2. Prince Caspian br /3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Lewis planned on stopping the series here, but apparently it took on a life of its own) br /4. The Silver Chair (Actually written after, but published before "The Horse and His Boy") br /5. The Horse and his Boy br /6. The Magician's Nephew (Could be read first but I am glad I read (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) first.br /7. The Last Battle.br /Note: I bought this series for my grand children and I have really enjoyed each and every book.br /
