Product Description

Amazon 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

Review

“If there’s a natural successor to LOTR, then it’s Andrew Adamson’s first instalment in The Chronicles of Narnia saga. The long-awaited literary adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe will likewise make use of New Zealand’s deep forests, snow-dusted mountains and craggy volcanic cliffs to replicate Narnia’s magical landscape.”
Empire Magazine

“The magic of C.S. Lewis’s parallel universe never fades.” The Times

“When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness.” C S Lewis

5.0 out of 5 stars Narnia for the little ones - what a great idea! 14 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I have loved all the Narnia books since I was a little girl and wanted to introduce this wonderful world created by C S Lewis to my own six year old daughter, however I felt the full, unabridged novels would be too old for her. This particular version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is ideal for the younger child - it misses out much of the scarier elements and things that would confuse a younger child (and prompt difficult questions to answer for that age group) but leaves in enough to keep it exciting and full of adventure (and yes still prompt some questions that can be hard to answer!). My daughter loved it and now wants more. If they bring out the other books in the series in this format I will certainly buy them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well presented classic 23 Jun 2005
By Dave the Flav' VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Quite possibly everyone has heard of the Narnia series, and many of us were brought up on the legend of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe."

This particular edition is the original story repackaged for C.S Lewis's 100th anniversary, only broken down and made easier on the eyes as well as for younger children with glossed paper and colour illustrations throughout.

The result is something delightful for anyone of any age to read, particularly when encouraging older children to read more sophisticated novels by enticing with bright illustrations.

Something to read over and over, with a little more to look at too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning 7 Oct 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My daughter simply cannot put this book down! This abridged version is still captivating yet simple enough for a child to grasp in the main. Some questions remain unanswered but that is the beauty of the mystery. It makes her want to read the rest of the series. The illustrations are simply stunning! If your child is a bookworm like mine and loves art, this is the book for him/her!
