For over sixty years, readers of all ages have been enchanted by the magical realms, the epic battles between good and evil, and the unforgettable creatures of Narnia.
This box set includes all seven titles in The Chronicles of NarniaThe 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.
ed.pendragon: There is magic and there are journeys, mythical beasts and young protagonists, moral judgements to be made and courage to be demonstrated; while the language is more adult, Earthsea is as vivid a world as Narnia and a place you will want to re-visit.
ed.pendragon: This is a rather darker version on the same door-between-the-worlds theme, where the magic resides in the north of a thinly-disguised United Kingdom reached by way of a Wall.
atimco: Both Narnia and Willows feature anthropomorphized animal heroes who nevertheless retain the quirks of their species. The narrative voice is humorous and quintessentially British. Both stories also include spiritual/religious undertones. Willows predates Narnia by over forty years and was a big influence on Lewis (he even wrote a poem with some of Grahame's characters in it).… (meer)
Jannes: The Magicians would not exist if it wasn't for the Narnia books, and is the kind of loving deconstruction of Lewis' work and the importance us readers places in it that you will either love or hate. Give it a try.
cdcottam1: Both works are beautifully mystical and fantastical! Wildwood has many of the fantastical themes of Narnia without the blatantly religious undertones while still containing good moral lessons.
palaephata: This series (there are really six) is another portal fiction that displays subtle Christian allegory. There's more fighting and less exploration of the world in White, and the reading level and content are just a little higher than that in Lewis. I'd read them about a year later.… (meer)
whitewavedarling: Santa Olivia is admittedly for a more adult-based audience, but themes, situations, and character types carry over between the works enough (plus a light integration of religion) that I think the readers of one work set would be well suited for the other.… (meer)
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. ( )
Middle School This story follows four kids who discover the magical world of Narnia where they discover that they are a part of an amazing prophecy. Amazing read that is not only fun but also follows the story of Christ through the Lion Aslan who personifies Christ in this story!

All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before. (From The Last Battle)

Boekbeschrijving
Al meer dan vijftig jaar heeft het land van Narnia miljoenen lezers over de hele wereld in zijn macht. Dit betoverend mooie boek zal velen, zeker ook jonge kinderen aanspreken. Welkom in het land waarin meer sprekende dieren dan mensen wonen. Waar je Lucy, Susan, Peter en Edmund en Prins Caspian ontmoet en niet te vergeten de leeuw Aslan.
Clive Staples Lewis was reeds vanaf zijn kindertijd gefascineerd door sprookjes, oude legendes en mythologische vertellingen. Op zijn zestiende creëerde hij reeds een faun die zich met een paraplu en een pakketje onder zijn arm verplaatste in een met sneeuw bedenkt bos. Jaren later kreeg de faun gezelschap van een witte heks en een geweldige leeuw. Hun verhaal werd De Leeuw, de Heks en de Kleerkast, een boek dat een everseller werld all over the World. Inmiddels is dit verhaal succesvol verfilmd door Walt Disney/Walden Media. Zes andere delen volgden. Vanwege het grote succes van de eerste film wordt er nu druk gewerkt aan een volgende film Prince Caspian. Miljoenen exemplaren zijn reeds wereldwijd verkocht van de Kronieken van Narnia. Ze hebben nog steeds die grote verbeeldingskracht die velen aanspreekt.
