Editorial Reviews

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.

From the Back Cover
This collection includes all seven of the novels: The Magician's Nephew; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; The Horse and His Boy; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; The Silver Chair; The Last Battle.

Customer Reviews
Affordable classics
These editions have character listings in the beginning of each novel that are very helpful. They are easy to read and illustrated!

nice set
The book set was quite lovely. All the books came in a nice box but there were two details that bothered me, they were placed in an order that's not as nice to be read in as their original order and they put these ugly black circles on the bottom right corner of a couple of the books that say, "now a major motion picture." other then that, great books, definitely worth it.

The Chronicles of Narnia
The book came sooner than I had anticipated and is a new copy at a great price. Thank you much.
