Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
When Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy took their first steps into the world behind the magic wardrobe, little do they realise what adventures are about to unfold. And as the story of Narnia begins to unfold, so to does a classic tale that has enchanted readers of all ages for over half a century.

This stunning version of the classic The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, illustrated by Christian Burningham, comes with a special recording of the story which features a full production and specially composed music which transports the listener straight to the heart of Narnia. An absolute must for Narnia fans, and an excellent way of introducing the magical story to a new generation of readers. --Susan Harrison

- Why haven't you bought this already?
Book number two (chronologically speaking) in the Narnia series, is somewhat more patronising and irritating than The Magician's Nephew which I reviewed a few months ago. Perhaps that's understandable, given that this one was written first and was his first book written for children. While the christian crap is more evident in this one, it is still not particularly distinguishable from any other mythology. My verdict is the same as for The Magician's Nephew: you should own a copy. And your children should own copies.

- A thrilling fantasy!
Having seen the cartoon film as a child and then the live action I and loving them both I thought as an adult I should now read the book and its brilliant. It has elememts that are not transferable to the screen and even knowing the story inside out I was still excited by it. It was slightly embarrasing reading a book on the tube with pictures in it but I can assure you this book is worth any amount of embarresment. One of the greatest books of all time!

- The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

First book printed, second book chronologically.

I began re-reading the Narnia series after coming across a beautiful boxed set of all seven novels. Mainly this was out of nostalgia, as these were favourites when I was young, and I was interested to see how they held up as adults. I found them all to be written very clearly with provocative descriptive prose, and narrative that often draws the reader immediately into the story.

This is, of course, the most recognisable title of the series as well as being the first written/published. Most readers will pick up the book hoping for a written account of the events in the recent film, or perhaps the BBC drama series if your memory goes back that far! For the ... Read More:

- Roar!
d book of the Narnia collection and it is about Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy who were evacuated in the Second World War. In the house they are staying in they go exploring and Lucy finds a new world through a wardrobe. There she meets a faun, called Tumnus, and when she goes back to try and convince the others that she is telling the truth they do not believe her. The second time she visits Narnia, Edmund follows but loses track of Lucy to find the White Witch, Queen of Narnia, who offers him some Turkish Delights. She promises him more if he brings all his brothers and sisters which he agrees to. When both of them return Edmund says it was just a game that they were playing to Peter and Susan which leave poor little Lucy very upset.

- more like the Chronicles of Hate
The best book of the series is the "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe".
Some of the more worrying aspects of this series are the depictions of all White Europeans as basically good upright people in tune with nature and animals. Dark skinned people worship a false-gods filthy, evil and destroying nature etc.

Don't believe me read "Horse and his Boy" and the "Last Battle" and see how any non white people are depicted, this is a disgrace. ...

"In his time, people thought it was amusing to make fun of other cultures. We don't.

I'm not sure if the "rights sort" of message is being projected....
