Summary
The Narnia Chronicles, first published in 1950, have been and remain some of the most enduringly popular children’s books ever published. The best known, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, has been translated into 29 languages!
“It’s a magic wardrobe. There’s a wood inside it, and it’s snowing! Come and see,” begged Lucy.
Lucy has stumbled upon a marvellous land of fauns and centaurs, nymphs and talking animals. But soon she discovers that it is ruled by the cruel White Witch, and can only be freed by Aslan, the great Lion, and four children…
This is the second adventure in the exciting Chronicles of Narnia.
Critic reviews
“Forget Simba. There’s a new lion in the Magic Kingdom… Long before J.K. Rowling dreamed up Harry Potter, Lewis was busy with his seven book series.” E! Online
“Like the ‘Rings’ cycle… the seven Narnia books have a long and loyal following.” The Herald (U.K.)
“Narnia offers huge scope for a profitable film franchise… fantasy is currently the toast of Hollywood.” The Guardian (U.K.)

wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
this is a lovely, British reading of the story. Michael bond uses fabulous accents (irish for Mr tumnus) to tell this story, without being over the top.

Revisiting a book after a long time.
A book much loved years ago, like good wine, has magically improved with its age.

wonderful book
I love the story and grew up reading the books.
I found the narrator difficult to listen to at times as he would speak so quietly and then suddenly shout. will choose a different narrator for the next book in the series.

As fresh as the day Lewis wrote it
I grew up with my dad reading Narnia to me, then reading it myself. Now I'm sharing it with my own son.
Lewis wrote his allegorical series decades before I was born get the tales are timeless, the characters engaging and his message timely.

When they became kings and queens
(Like) when they found out they could go through the wardrobe.
(Dislike) when it seems like Aslan is dead!
