Product Description
Complete and unabridged on four CDs, read by Michael York
“This is the land of Narnia,” said the Faun, “where we are now. And you – you have come from the wild woods of the west?”
“I – I got in through the wardrobe in the spare room,” said Lucy.
Lucy steps into the Professor’s wardrobe – but steps out again into a snowy forest. She’s stumbled upon the magical world of Narnia, land of unicorns, centaurs, fauns… and the wicked White Witch, who terrorises all. Lucy soon realises that Narnia, and in particular Aslan, the great Lion, needs her help if the country’s creatures are ever going to be free again…

Thank goodness I'm not the only one! I have been so relieved to see the reviews on here that say Michael York has made a terrible job of recording this wonderful story. Who on Earth let him get away with pronouncing Aslan "Ass-lan"? Who told him that "centaur" is pronounced "cen-tower"?! He opens by saying "performed by Michael York" (instead of "read by" like all the other story CDs we have), which says it all. The words provide the magic and in this case the reader killed it. We struggled, laughing, to the bitter end.

(This is a review of the performance, not of the book).
What to say. I struggled to give this more than 1 star, but I couldn't find any reason why I should. Michael York may be a good screen actor (or not; I frankly don't know), but this performance is abysmal. You just need to listen to the introduction (a few seconds) to know exactly what lies ahead for you: the same intonation pattern over and over and over again for the whole book, ad nauseam. While how apt the accents he chose to give the characters is questionable at best, their voices are too much similar and range from annoying to unbearably obnoxious. In the end I managed to listen to all of it, but I can't say how many times I was tempted to abandon it in exasperation. I think I'll go listen to some Stephen Fry, who is a superb performer.
Avoid at all costs.

You need the unabridged versions of these books - and generally the seriesworks well.
these have seen us through several long car journeys andthe pace has been good. Sufficently exciting for you to have to wait to asuitable point to get out of the car.
All we need now is the LastBattle to complete the set.
and when you've heard the tape/CD go offand read the books.
