Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

When Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy took their first steps into the world behind the magic wardrobe, little do they realise what adventures are about to unfold. And as the story of Narnia begins to unfold, so to does a classic tale that has enchanted readers of all ages for over half a century.

This stunning version of the classic The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, illustrated by Christian Burningham, comes with a special recording of the story which features a full production and specially composed music which transports the listener straight to the heart of Narnia. An absolute must for Narnia fans, and an excellent way of introducing the magical story to a new generation of readers. --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Roar!, 13 Jan 2008
By Mehajabeen Farid "Mej_da_reviewer" (Coventry) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
d book of the Narnia collection and it is about Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy who were evacuated in the Second World War. In the house they are staying in they go exploring and Lucy finds a new world through a wardrobe. There she meets a faun, called Tumnus, and when she goes back to try and convince the others that she is telling the truth they do not believe her. The second time she visits Narnia, Edmund follows but loses track of Lucy to find the White Witch, Queen of Narnia, who offers him some Turkish Delights. She promises him more if he brings all his brothers and sisters which he agrees to. When both of them return Edmund says it was just a game that they were playing to Peter and Susan which leave poor little Lucy very upset.
This time all the children go to Narnia. The children have tea with two beavers - Mr and Mrs beaver who tell them about the ancient propecy. They also say that Aslan - the true king of Narnia is returning. In the mean time, Edmund betrays this siblings and leaves to find the White Witch but his absence is not notice for a long time. When finally everyone realises he is not there, it is too late. At the end, the four children do become the true rulers of Narnia and they fulfill the prophecy. This book is good and I give it a rating of 7/ 10. It is suitable for KS 2 children like me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Magic, 31 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe Book and Tape Gift set (Hardcover)
I loved the Narnia series as a child and couldn't wait to introduce it to my 5 yr old daughter. This abridged version is perfect for younger children . It is beautifully illustrated and the accompanying tape really brings the story to life. We listen to it over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Into the wardrobe, 16 Jan 2006
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia (HarperCollins Paperback)) (Paperback)
C.S. Lewis pioneered a new kind of fantasy when he wrote "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" -- the kind where people from our world somehow get swept into another one. It's old stuff now, but Lewis was among the first to attempt such a thing. Because of its originality, and despite some rather hamhanded allegory, it remains a charmingly written, classic story.

To avoid the threat of bombings in London, the four Pevensie kids are sent to stay with a wealthy, eccentric professor in the country. But strange things start to happen when Lucy finds a wardrobe during a game of hide-and-seek -- when she climbs in, she finds a snowy woodland and a friendly faun. Her siblings don't believe her... until peevish Edmund also ventures through, and encounters the beautiful but evil White Witch.

Soon all four are wandering through the snowy land of Narnia, encountering mythical creatures and talking animals. They also find that the four of them are at the center of a prophecy that will lead to the return of lion-messiah Aslan, and the downfall of the White Witch. But things don't go according to plan when Edmund defects to the Witch's side...

How many fantasy stories are written about kids who crawl through a hedge, wander through a door or pick up a magical object, and immediately are swept off into a medieval land? Lots. And they owe a debt of gratitude to C.S. Lewis, theologian, author, and drinking buddy of "Lord of the Rings" author J.R.R. Tolkien.

C.S. Lewis' story is, despite being set during World War II, very 19th-century in tone -- very charming, conversational and full of little details. He populates it with a mishmash of mythic creatures such as dryads, fauns, and talking beavers. The one flaw? Lewis gets quite hamhanded with his Christian allegory, such as Aslan's resurrection. However, he has a very good plot and charming characters to balance it out.

Those characters deftly avoid being cutesy, especially by virtue of the malicious Edmund, who slowly has a change of heart after falling in with the evil Witch. He's a much more enjoyable character than his noble brother Peter, just because he's so real. And as a counterbalance, there's Lewis's sweet-natured Lucy -- which was also the name of Lewis' granddaughter.

Complex characters and still-fresh stories give "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" -- which was recently released as a hit movie -- a special ambience. Definitely worth reading.
