Chronicles of Narnia (7 Volumes)

Such boring and hard to read books. Waste of money

Little bit torn on one corner of box however, the books in excellent condition. Couldn’t be more pleased xx

Lovely story well written and good presentation. Arrived on time and in good condition

I already have these in hardback, but I thought it would be nice to have them on my Kindle.With the Kindle edition, you get the complete text of all seven books. There is also a decent contents page, with links to every book and chapter. A few extras - an intro with a transcript of an interview by Lewis’ stepson, and some early short stories (unconnected with Narnia).All in all, excellent value for money.I was, however, disappointed that most of Pauline Baynes’ beautiful illustrations are missing. In particular, those wonderful maps which provide such a helpful vision of Narnia and her neighbours. We get one small random illustration at the beginning of each chapter, and that’s it.I know the Kindle edition is great value, but I would willingly have paid extra for a full illustrated version - Pauline Baynes adds so much. I’ve grown up with these books, and for me, the pictures and maps are an integral part of the read.It’s a bit like reading Alice in Wonderland without John Tenniel’s illustrations. A good read, but something is missing. 🙁

This was a Christmas present for my child . It was delivered very next day . It is a good collection of books !

Exactly as advertised and just great as a present for grandchildren.

As described

The Chronicles of Narnia are 7 wonderful adventures experienced on two or three levels: children's adventure stories, adults' and children's adventures in the Christian life and their spiritual being, and an adventure into the future of planet Earth. Perfect for reading aloud to children from 8 upwards they're moving and inspiring for adults as well. There's humour, knotty problems we all face and positive ways to face them, a new and lovely way of perceiving and respecting animals and the environment, knightly battles and daily battles, and an open acceptance of the different and the little. These books retain their excitement and inspiration after many readings, especially because the more one reads them, the more one sees in them and can apply to one's life and aspirations. There is the battle between Good and Evil throughout and the most helpful, natural and comforting confrontation of weakness, failure, struggle, mutual responsibility. Evil and death are faced and gone through positively. Different beliefs are respected. Sound theology is well grounded in reality. An inspired man wrote these books.
