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
This review is from: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia) (Paperback)
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 My Favorite of the Narnia Tales, 30 Jan 2003
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia) (Paperback)
Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy have been sent to live with a professor in the country during the London air-raids. While exploring the large house, Lucy finds that the wardrobe in the spare room transports her to the magical land of Narnia. The country is under the spell of a terrible witch who has made it always winter but never Christmas. At first, her siblings don't believe her, but soon they, too, find themselves in this new country. With danger around every turn, they must survive treachery to join Aslan the lion in the fight to free Narnia and break the spell.

I read this book for the first time in third grade, and it holds up just as well today. The pace of the writing is a bit slow, but the adventure is sure to hook readers. Lewis creates a wonderful fanciful world that is lots of fun to visit. This is the first I read and still my favorite. There's something about this book that captures the wonder of finding a new, magical world that the other books don't have.

Lewis also created just the right spell for his land to horrify kids and to a lesser extend adults. The idea of always having winter and all it brings but never getting to celebrate Christmas is too awful to mention.

A brief word about book order. When I read this book, it was considered the first in the series. Now, some people have put the books in chronological order, making it the second. While I fell that reading them in the original order is the best approach, it really doesn't matter that much. Nothing about the other books is spoiled here since this was the first one written, but not much about this book is spoiled if you read them in the order events occur.

Narnia is one of several classic kids’ series about mythical countries and is still my favorite. It's perfect for anyone wanting to leave our world behind for a touch of fantasy.
