Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Product Description
Collection includes all seven of the novels in the series.
Amazon.com
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.

More wonderful than I expected! - Reviewed on 2008-07-13
Once I started reading the first of the seven books, I COULD NOT stop reading! As I finished each book, I couldn't wait to get to the next one. There's something spellbinding about C.S. Lewis's work, and I firmly believe that it's because it was God-inspired.
I've never been one who enjoyed reading books about centaurs, fauns, and other mythological creatures; but this amazing Christian allegory kept my attention from start to finish!
The only thing I regret about reading this series is that I waited until I retired from a career as a public school teacher to read it! It makes me sad to think of the vast number of students that I could have encouraged to read it.
This, in my opinion, is a must-read for anyone who sees God as a judgmental, harsh, punishing Being. I believe that reading these seven books in the allegorical sense will help that person gain a greater understanding of the all-encompassing love that God shows for his children through Jesus Christ.
May Aslan and all of the other allegorical characters continue to instruct, entertain, and inspire readers of all ages for many decades to come!
