These stories are intriguing and fantastical to say the least. Many will be familiar with the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, but stories which lead up to it are just as good and tie everything together. ( ) When Digory and Polly are tricked by Digory's peculiar Uncle Andrew into becoming part of an experiment, they set off on the adventure of a lifetime. What happens to the children when they touch Uncle Andrew's magic rings is far beyond anything even the old magician could have imagined. Hurtled into the Wood between the Worlds, the children soon find that they can enter many worlds through the mysterious pools there. In one world they encounter the evil Queen Jadis, who wreaks havoc in the streets of London when she is accidentally brought back with them. When they finally manage to pull her out of London, unintentionally taking along Uncle Andrew and a coachman with his horse, they find themselves in what will come to be known as the land of Narnia. Overall, this is a good children’s series. I only ever had The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe growing up so I didn’t know the rest of it. The religious undertones are much more prevalent in the other books. And I’m glad I read these on audio because I think the narrators made each one better. Kenneth Branagh read The Magician’s Nephew (4 stars for the story, 5 stars for Branagh) Michael York read The Lion/Witch/Wardrobe (4 stars for the story, 4 stars for York) Alex Jennings read The Horse & His Boy (1 star for the story, 3 stars for Jennings) Lynn Redgrave read Prince Caspian (3 stars for the story, 3 stars for Redgrave) Derek Jacobi read Voyage of the Dawn Treader (4 stars for the story, 5 stars for Jacobi) Jeremy Northam read The Silver Chair (2 stars for the story, 3 stars for Northam) Sir Patrick Stewart read The Last Battle (2 stars for the story, 5 stars for Stewart) This was my childhood - and I have my sister to thank for that. She read them in school, and I followed suit. Saw the first Narnia film before I started to read these. And I am glad I did, I love these stories! My favourite is "Prince Caspian". It was a great way to be introduced to the fantasy world (and to mythology with Greek Fauns and Dryads, and Northern European giants and dwarves) at a young age as these stories were full of all kinds of creatures and adventures. You can tell Lewis and Tolkien were friends as they have similar themes and vibes (and of course draw from Christianity to tell their stories), though possess very different writing styles altogether. I rate it 4 stars only because some of the books I remember did not grip my attention the same way others did ("The Horse and His Boy" & "The Silver Chair") and not as descriptive as I'd like now. Forever grateful for these chronicles though. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Die Chroniken von Narnia (1-7) De Kronieken van Narnia (1-7) Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)BevatPrins Caspian door C. S.
