I've read the Chronicles Of Narnia years ago. This particular "version" has them in Chronological order, which I am already finding is more meaningful and I am getting even more out of these excellent books the second time around. This set starts with "The Magicians' Nephew" rather than with "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe"... They are easier to follow in the correct order. The quality for being paperbacks is very good. Any book that can withstand up to two weeks in my back pocket is well-made! Also the "new" artwork is interesting and pleasant. The price for this quality is a bargain as far as I'm concerned

We loved the Disney movie The Lion, The Witch and the Wordrobe. We decided to give the books a try. So far we love the slipcase. It helps us to keep the books organized. The prices of the books are very reasonable. We enjoy the colored covers of the books as it enhances our imagination. My 7 year old daughter said to me, 'Mom, let's take care of them because I want to read these to my kids". Now that really makes the purchase worth every penny!

Both my fourth grader and I are Narnia fans. This book set is very suitable for young readers to carry around or travel. But the layout and the clarity of prints can be improved. We enjoyed it.

This edition, which was produced in anticipation of the 2005 movie release, is perfect for the price...an inexpensive boxed set. The books are illustrated: b&w sketches appear on almost every turn of the page. This is a great feature for the 3rd-grader reading a fun adventure story for the first time, or for the parent/teacher reading one to a younger child. However, I find myself looking over my shoulder when reading these on my lunch break at work...kind of embarrassing to be observed reading a child's book. Did I mention, though, that these are terrifically wonderful stories even--or perhaps especially--as an adult?! Read them, regardless of your age, and regardless of your choice of editions!!!

I can't even tell you how many times I've read these books. I absolutely love these stories!!! I grew up watching "The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe" animated cartoon..(my favorite movie as a child)..& my brothers introduced me to the books when I was about 8. These were the first books I ever bought for myself, & it's one purchase that I've never once regretted. :)--------These are wonderful allegory, yet they aren't stuck in a religious rut. C.S. 'Jack' Lewis did an excellent job of making Narnia believable, friendly to all readers, yet he gave the books deeper meaning for those who look for it. Every book is a gem. They are all enjoyable, whether read seperately or as a unit. I recommend them to EVERYONE. They're great fun even if you aren't looking for the deeper meanings. I will warn you though.. they're like chips.. you can't have just one. (laughs)-------The relationship between Lucy & Aslan is my favorite. It reminds me that child-like faith is all it takes to find 'The Lion'. :) The gentle beckoning of 'DearHeart' has brought me to tears numerous times. Very sweet!-------I highly recommend the Focus On The Family Radio Theatre stories on audio as well. They're fantastic! They portray the feelings & emotions behind the characters & their relationships beautifully.

I have a 10 year old son with a learning disablity. He has always struggled in reading. I first bought the Narnia CD's and he fell in love with them all. He listens to them over and over again. I then bought the Further Up and Further In Unit Study. He is now reading the books and actually enjoys it even though it is a challenge for him. I greatly encourage all with children to purchase the CD's and books. I feel that the spiritual aspect of these books can not be praised enough.

I am 15, and I have grown up with these books, and they seem to be a part of me! I have read them uncountable times, and highly recommend them for anybody who loves fantasy with a Christian twist! They are awesome and eye opening!

S.K. LewisFanForLife!
I started with 'Narnia' as an elementary school student, but quit at 'Dawn Treader', because the Isle of Dreams scared me a little. I quickly picked them up again a few years later and devoured them! They're my absolute all-time favorite books, and I've read them over and over in the last 14 years, never tiring of them and always discovering something new. The allegory is breathtaking at times, and it helped me to understand so much in my Christian walk.A few years back, I had a desire to find more of Lewis's works. I discovered the 'Space Trilogy' (Definitely for more mature readers, but even more eye-opening spiritual truths embedded in it!), as well as 'Bowen', an early Lewis work, written when he was a child.I recommend ANYTHING Lewis!!!!!!!

I am in my late 50s and recently finished reading "Chronicles" for the 3rd or 4th time. There are many places where I wept because the person of Christ was once again made so very real to me through the character of Aslan. I firmly believe that these volumes should be required reading for EVERY Christian!

Like finding a treasure in the attic! Even though I am 50+ years old, I read through them in a week. My daughter, Rebecca read through them, and now son David is more than half-way through. If you want 'good old' stories with a decidely Christian flavor, go for these!

No one should consider himself well read if he hasn't read Narnia. My 12-year-old son and I have gone through them at least three times. They are exciting, touching, spiritually uplifting, funny, educational, and definitely not written just for children.
