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.
Product Description
Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil -- what more could any reader ask for in one book? The book that has it all is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written in 1949 by Clive Staples Lewis. 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. This edition presents all seven books -- unabridged -- in one impressive volume. The books are presented here according to Lewis' preferred order, each chapter graced with an illustration by the original artist, Pauline Baynes. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to readers of all ages, even fifty years after they were first published.

 Sexy Scenes None, A Great Read July 29, 2008

Great Books well written from an author you can trust when giving your children summer reading.
I chose to pull books by Tamora Pierce from my 13 year old daughter after glancing into them to find uncontrolable passions of the teen aged heroine, plus mentioning the use of magic for birth control. Uncontrolable passion is never a good thing if we are truthful. Even my distain of rap!
C.S. Lewis was a good guy and a great author! There is everything to like from these "Great, Clean, Fun Books!
The Service as always was perfect! Thank You!
Great box set at great price July 28, 2008
i had never read narnia before and i am now half way through them and absolutely love them. this box set is great, light paperbacks are the best.
Superlative July 26, 2008
i first read these books as a complete set when working in a refugee camp in thailand. they blew my mind then as had done the reading to me of the voyage of the dawn treader as a young boy at bording school. i love these books they are most special, but dont come up to the level of lord of the rings... in my opinion. still, i reckon second only to lord of the rings and none other fantasy fiction can meet this standard, except perhaps the never ending story.
with love, from, snow-flake. xxx
 I realize it's the inside that counts, but... July 20, 2008

The content of these books is wonderful, as always with C.S. Lewis' works. Upon receipt of the product I was disappointed to find that 5 of the books in the set have "Now a Major Motion Picture" printed inside a bold yellow circle on the front cover.
This was not shown on any of the product images that I saw before I made my purchase, so it was an unexpected and unpleasant surprise when I opened the box.
