    C.S. Lewis is certainly a "gift" in our time. Excellent and wonderful, entertaining stories. Uplifting and adventurous.



    I would also like to say that in response to a review claiming C.S. Lewis is teaching against scripture. I believe this is an incorrect point of view, C.S, Lewis is not twisting scripture at all.

    Reference- Colossians 3:23-24- When you are working, one is to work as if "for the Lord". C.S. Lewis is not against scripture-

    Reference-Ephesians 6:7 Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. ... rendering service with good will as to the Lord and not to men.

    Definition of a great author:

    1) Every line packed with entertainment value

    2) The ability to create a world in which we can live (Narnia)

    3) The creation of a character who takes on a life of his/her own, captures the public imagination,

    becomes a household word (Aslan).

    Lewis is among the elite, the top ten best authors in English literature.

    I haven't read all the volumes yet so I'm not commenting on the books - they're well known anyway. However, I can say that this collector's edition is very nice. The volumes are paperback but bound very well. The covers and the illustrations are wonderful in color. They are by Pauline Baynes, a very well known illustrator who did the illustrations for the original volumes. She also did some illustrations for the Lord of the Rings literature. If you enjoy reading from an illustrated text, you'll definitely like this edition.

    It is unfortunate that someone erroneously decided that the Chronicles should be published in chronological order instead of the original order. When read out of order they lose continuity. Please return to the original order as Mr. Lewis wrote them.

    CS Lewis Fan!!
    This is an amazingly fun and hopeful set of books! I still love them even at my age - don't ask I'm not telling but my well worn and much loved childhood box set still sets in my library! ;)My half star ding is for the publisher and the book order. If this is your or your child's first exposure to these books I recommend they be read in published order not chronological order, at least where the two books "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" (published 1st) and "The Magician's Nephew" (published 6th) are concerned. The reason is simple, secrets that are revealed in "The Magician's Nephew" lose their coolness factor if you discover them before you read the story of "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe". There is a big difference between the joy (and fun) of discovering new details about old friends (those you thought were so familiar) and learning about people and things you have never met and don't care about.
