This is a wonderful collection of poetry readings by some of the bestactors in the world. If youallow yourself only one tape of poetry, Iwould recommend this one. The rendition of Lawrence's "The Snake"is spellbining, and the reading of Macneil's "A Death in theFamily" is quietlly gut-wrenching. And you will be surprised how wellBill Shatner recites about whales. Buy this tape, and you will listen to itagain and again. ... Read more

Product Description
The Complete Chronicles of Narnia Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil---what more could any reader ask for? THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, written in 1949 by Clive Staples Lewis, had all this and more. But Lewis did not stop there. Six more books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia. For the past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a land where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations. Now, some of the most noted actors of our times have come together to read these extraordinary works. This timeless boxed set includes all seven unabridged recordings: 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. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to readers of all ages, more than fifty years after they were first published.Amazon.com Review
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. ... Read more

Beautiful book, but heavy
A beautiful book!But it was cross-listed with the paperback boxed set books, so I thought I was ordering smaller hardback books in a set.This large one-book volume has nice illustrations and the same great C.S. Lewis tales, but weighs heavily in the lap.A more precise distinction should be listed when this book and the boxed set are shown together.

Narnia Book Set
This is a very good set.My teenagers read it over and over.Great price, makes a nice gift.

I love these books, they are purely amazing. Their tale incorporates a wondrous adventure, that takes the reader away. They strike a deep feeling within, they become part of your life after you read them, if you fully understand them

My Family Loved These!
We took a family vacation with our two young boys and listened to three entire stories during the hours and hours we spent on the road. My boys LOVED these stories! The actors do such an amazing job at making each character come to life. Kenneth Brannaugh was a favorite of ours. I would encourage anyone with small children to buy this set, especially for long drives.
