Book Reviews of The Chronicles of Narnia Box Set (adult)Book Review: Narnia--A Classic!!! Summary: 5 Stars
The Chronicles of Narnia are near perfect books. Entertaining, imaginative, and thought provoking storytelling of the struggle between good and evil with a sweeping gandeur and epic scale as Peter, Susan, Lucy, Edmund, and the graceful lion king Aslan protect Narnia from the evil White Witch Queen and her minions. I've been reading and re-reading these books ever since I was young and old enough to pick up a book. And now buying the box set for the next generation of Narnia lovers, and discussing the stories I've always loved with them as they read them, it does enhance the process of discovery about the magical world of Narnia as I see the same wonder in their eyes that I felt the first time I read the books. Wonderful reading for adults and kids. A true classic. Another book I've enjoyed: The alien invasion adventure "Gaak" by Darryl Hughes. Four "Goonies" like kids take on adolesence and kooky aliens in order to save the world. Too funny. It's a wonderful adventure for scifi fans of all ages.

- The Last Battle
Narnia is the land of enchantment, glory, nobility--home to the magnificent Aslan, cruel Jadis (the White Queen), heroic Reepicheep, and kind Mr. Tumnus. All the magic of C.S. Lewis's Narnia, bewitching readers for almost 50 years, is captured for the first time in this splendid deluxe edition, including 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, and The Last Battle, with fabulous illustrations hand-colored by the original Narnia artist Pauline Baynes and an insightful introduction by Narnia authority Brian Sibley. Lewis's work has cast a spell over countless readers over the years, so that once we pick up The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, we don't want to stop until we've read the whole series. The Complete Chronicles makes it even easier to keep reading! The seven beloved stories have been arranged in the chronological order in which Lewis intended them to be read. Begin at the beginning, as Digory and Polly are tricked into a strange other world, which becomes, even as they watch, the great Narnia. Return again and again with four other children--Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy--who are to play such a vital role in Narnia's history. Finally, enter the whimsical land one last time to witness the end of Time, and the beginning of something new: "world within world, Narnia within Narnia." This gorgeous volume is absolutely a must-have for current and future Narnia lovers. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter
