THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA IS A CULTURAL TOUCHSTONE FOR THE AGES

When I think of The Chronicles of Narnia, I am transported to my childhood bedroom at the impossibly late hour of 9:30 PM. My dad is squinting at his yellowed 1976 edition of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, dust kicking up into the air with each turn of the page. As he speaks of fauns, stone tablets, and Turkish Delight, my little brain is working on overdrive to make sense of it all.

All seven books in the series have vastly different storylines, main characters, points of view, and in the case of the audio version, a different narrator for each title. For most Narnia fans, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the first book they experience, and it's also the best known book in the series. In later editions of the series (including this one), The Magician’s Nephew is considered to be the first book since it takes place much earlier in the canon, starring a young Professor Digory Kirke as he discovers Narnia. I started this series with Wardrobe, however. The story of siblings Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy stumbling upon a magical land and taking on the evil White Witch is nothing short of a timeless classic. With the mighty lion Aslan and the kind faun Mr. Tumnus on their side, these four children are tested and forced to mature quickly in order to rise to the challenge.

While it certainly transports the reader into a highly conceptual fantasy world, the secret sauce to this series is the stellar character writing. Put simply, each of the four children represents one major character archetype: Peter is brave and headstrong, Susan is wise and resourceful, Edmund is agreeable and easily manipulated, and Lucy is kind and loyal. As a kid, I found myself admiring Lucy’s grit and determination in difficult situations. These character outlines may be basic, but author C.S. Lewis uses them to great effect, weaving complex character dynamics while keeping it simple enough for anyone to follow along. While the four children do not appear in all seven books, these sorts of character tropes live on with each trip to this magical and faraway land.

“…someday you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”

I’ve owned the complete Narnia series for many years. My favorite is a single volume. Now, after finally experiencing the entire tale in the audio format, I will open the book, for there are underlines I need to mark!
I hardly have words to express how marvelous this audio presentation has been to me… I’ve laughed, I’ve been wonder struck, I’ve wept hot tears, both of exquisite joy and deep aching sorrow… but all the tear moments felt like a cleansing.
I am so very grateful! I’m in my 72nd year and am so delighted to partake of this glorious adventure. It has brightened my journey here in the shadowlands… and quickened my heart hope for my homeland.
Bravo!!! Mr. Lewis, Bravo!!!

I’m finally old enough!

The narrators were outstanding and of course CS Lewis is an amazing author bringing vivid word pictures to a wonderful story producing an outstanding series of books. For young children some of the battle scenes may be too intense. Use your own judgment on that. Listen to it ahead of time and skip over that part for them just filling in what happened.

Spellbinding for all ages.
