Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
Beloved by generations for more than 50 years, this classic children's series is now available in a special adult edition.
Amazon.com Review:
The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis, is one of the very few sets of books that should be read three times: in childhood, early adulthood, and late in life. In brief, four children travel repeatedly to a world in which they are far more than mere children and everything is far more than it seems. Richly told, populated with fascinating characters, perfectly realized in detail of world and pacing of plot, and profoundly allegorical, the story is infused throughout with the timeless issues of good and evil, faith and hope. This boxed set edition includes all seven volumes.

Content: If you, like I, have read your Narnia books to pieces, thn this is a great replacement volume -- or a wonderful gift to give to introduce someone to the world of Narnia. I'd especially recommend it to parents who spend time each night reading to their children -- you will have the whole set at hand, and the children can be kept interested for quite a while! The text is easy to read, and the illustrations capture the people places and "feel" of Narnia well, giving children (and adults!) a face to go with a name etc. WELL worth it!!! Should you want to introduce Christianity to your kids, or to someone else, this volume also gives a wonderfully gentle way to do that as well.

Content: In order to get the intended story of Narnia read them in their theatrical release. At first, i must admitt, that i was confused as to why "they" (movie people and such)would release the 2nd book within the series, The Lion,The Witch and The Wardrobe, before the first, The Magician's Nephew, but afterward i thought of the order into which i was introduced to Narnia. My 2nd grade teacher first read LWW (#2) to us & then Prince Caspian (PC,#4) and so on with the stories containing Lucy and Edmund. Only THEN is it time to see the creation of Narnia, the importance of the lampost and other seemingly insignificant elements.
So i would say that the correct (or less confusing & complicated) order of reading would be 1: LWW (#2); 2: PC (#4); 3: VDT (#5); 4: SC (#6); 5. HHB (#3); 6. MN (#1) 7. LB (#7)
Summary: To Stop ALL The Confusion..

Content: This is well-written, fun fantasy with a message (though not a preachy one). Enjoyable for middle schoolers and adults, grab something hot to drink and curl up for a fun escape. This is one of those books the movie doesn't spoil. The characters are memorable and believable.
Summary: Stories to read again and again
