It is a reference, not a novel
26 April 2000
Format:Paperback
This book seems to have been mistunderstood by some to be a novel. It is not a novel but instead a type of reference for use before, during or after you read the actual novels included in the "Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis himself. This book includes lovely illustrations of main and secondary characters and gives some specifics that would otherwise have been missed by some readers when reading the novels.
This book may not be for all, but a definate "must" for any fan of the "Narnia" series who would like a deeper look into the inhabitants of the land created by Lewis. This is also a good reference book to use when discussing the novels in a small group/classroom setting.

A wonderful resource for all Narnia readers
22 July 2002
Format:Paperback
A book of Narnians is a must-have for all Narnia fans. Pauline Baynes's illustrations put all the Narnians right in your hands. Even though the map in the back is not completely accurate, (I'm very picky) the references and drawings, along with short summaries of the characters are wonderful to have. Though nothing is as fantastic to read as the Chronicles, this is a well written easy read book for all those who want a deeper view of the Narnians and their world. Keep it close by while reading the Chronicles, so you can "zoom in" on the characters and their personalities!

A good reading for children and adults
31 May 2000
Format:Paperback
This is a beautifully written book, probably written for children, but totally enjoyable for grown ups.
