Narnia in the beginning never so real... (5/5 people found this helpful)
I first heard this production when I was young and it's a story and dramatisation that has has stayed with me because it is an incredibly colourful and faithful version of the original story. The passion and precision of the voices are really superb and manage to bring to life a myriad set of complex characters that could easily have sounded dull and dated, despite Lewis' amazing story-telling ability. This production allows the imagination to truely envisage Lewis' dreamland, which is probably because the actors are so well cast and embody the good and bad of the characters they play so well. A lot of effort has clearly gone into this dramatisation, so that it remains faithful to the spirit of the book and adds a realism the text could not.
With this particular edition, the C.D. quality is excellent- without the muffling sounds sometimes caused on audio cassettes and so there is no reason why this and the other 6 radio dramatisations should not be bought and treasured by all those people who loved the books and those who've never heard of Narnia- there is simply no other collection of stories better brought to life in audio.

this book is a fantastic read, covering all of the exciting adventures polly and digory encounter. c.s.lewis has made this a very enjoyable book suted for all ages. when polly and digory come across eccentric uncle andrews attic, polly is fulled into taking a magical ring. this ring is what enables polly and digory to enter the magic world of narnia, and make the story come to life!
Great listening for all the family (5/6 people found this helpful)
My wife and my two children (ages 7 and 5) listened to this story whilst on a trip to the south of France (a long drive!). Excellent dramatisation and pace kept us amused for several listenings. A great book/tape!
