Reader Reviews:
Having read the Narnia books when I was about eight (0/1 people found this helpful)
I am now re-reading them with my seven year old, who is an ardent Harry Potter fan. He is just as thrilled with the stories as I was and enjoys the themes common to the Potter books of magic, boarding schools and goblins. We also enjoy spotting the biblical references and discussing the finer points of time travel!
Each book individually and all of them collectively are very well constructed and plot lines continue throughout. Again, for a younger reader it is stimulating to try to anticipate where the story may be going as it interweaves references from other books in the series and other points in the history of Narnia. Like any good book or series of its kind, the Narnia Chronicles completely immerse the reader in a parallel universe and this alone is as fine a recommendation for switching off the television and picking up a book as any!!! Also, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterful novel--The Fates, I'd highly recommend reading it. Truly an enjoyable read.
A fantasy that you should pass along the family (0/0 people found this helpful)
I read "the lion, the witch and the wardrobe" when I was little, I never knew there was a series of the stories thou, so when I found out I was very excited about it - however, some of the books are really dull (probably because I'm no longer a child)... My favourite being "Prince Caspian", "The Voyage of The Dawn Treader" and of coz "The lion, The witch and the wardrobe" - they are even good for adults. So read this, and read it to your children, and they should read to their children as well...

If you haven't read this serious, you don't know what you're missing. Its a great experience. A magical journey in C.S. Lewis incredible imagination. Haven't yet heard a dissapointed reader, and I don't think I ever will.
Get absorbed in the fantasy world of Narnia. (2/5 people found this helpful)
Narnia is a great fantasy story; it is filled with magic and is funny and scary in parts. There are lots of frightening and breathtaking moments and dangers that give you a twinkle of freight.
It is an enjoyable story that is suitable for ages 10 and up. It is a long but interesting book which you can not put down. This book can get you absorbed in a cold snowy fantasy world in seconds.

This is a very popular series of stories in our house, I have recently bought this box set for my wife as a christmas present and she was delighted to receive it. It was my intention to have each one of the books signed by the illustrator of the covers (Heller), as I know him. However this was not possible as the covers on these books are a later edition and are not Hellers originals. Enjoy the books though.
