When Adam's flesh and Adam's bone Sits at Cair Paravel in throne, The evil time will be over and done.

Edmund simply sank down and lay on his face doing nothing at all and not even caring what was going to happen next provided they would let him lie still.

He knows that unless I have blood as the Law says all Narnia will be overturned and perish in fire and water

Daughter of Eve from the far land of Spare Oom where eternal summer reigns around the bright city of War Drobe, how would it be if you came and had tea with me?"

"I am sure nobody would mind," said Susan; "it isn't as if we wanted to take them out of the house; we shan't take them even out of the wardrobe."

Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight, At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more, When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring agan.

"Why, sir?" said Lucy. "I think-I don't Why. and a - and C as a ick it. know-but I think I could be brave enough. "That is not the point," he said. "But battles a ugly when women fight."

"Once a king or queen in Narnia, always a king or queen."

“But do you really mean, sir,” said Peter, “that there could be other worlds—all over the place, just round the corner—like that?”

C.S. Lewis

When this adaptation of C. S. Lewis's classic children's story opened at the RSC Stratford in November 1998, it received rave reviews and broke box office records. Four children are evacuated from London during the Blitz. While exploring the Professor's house, they stumble across the gateway to another world, and the adventure begins. The land of Narnia is under the spell of the wicked White Witch, and the four very quickly find themselves caught up in a deadly struggle between good and evil.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

S.M.

I read this as a young teen and remember liking it. I had no knowledge of Christianity, so I didn't get the relgious overtones at all. Fantasy characters often seemed to cheat death or other "laws," so that didn't seem odd to me. I see now how religious it is, but it doesn't bother me. I still think it's a good story for the target age group. I've been "rereading" it by listening to the unabridged CD version read by Michael York along with my 5-year-old son, checking in with him constantly to see if it's too scary for him. I must say he's quite taken with it! Other books on CD we've listened to have included Paddington, Winnie-the-Pooh, Dr. Seuss, and Mr. Popper's Penguins. His favorite has been Paddington, but this CD has been even more engaging for him. Some days, he won't let me get out of the car when we get home because he wants to keep listening. If we're in a store, he frequently asks when we're leaving so he can get back to his story. I was worried that the witch would scare him, but his main comment on her was "Boy, she's *bossy*!" Yeah, if only that were all she was. We had a good discussion about the treatment of Aslan when he was killed, about what makes people cruel, why a person might feel a need to really "rub it in," and ultimately about how fear and hate are often linked. The discussion was simple and short, but I can see how it could be an entry point for older kids on hate crimes or war. As soon as the last words were read, he wanted to listen to the whole story over again.

Hvvjj

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.

The Chronicles of Narnia (adult)

Very fun! VERY religious! I could have went the rest of my life living happily if i had just not read The last battle, but oh well...

In addition to this being a loooot more religious than the movies, it has also aged badly, so the combo is a bit weird at times, be warned

But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice.

Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has been drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over sixty years.

The Last Battle

I don't think it is the perfect ending, bur definetly it was a good one! I really enjoyed the Narnia chronicles.

Chloé

The Magician's Nephew (paper-over-board) (Narnia)

Amna A.

Despite this book being a children's book, it was quite sweet. It felt like being in fourth grade all over again, and it has been a while since I've read something that exhausts your imagination as much as this book.

They open a door and enter a world

NARNIA...the land beyond the wardrobe, the secret country known only to Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy...the place where the adventure begins. Lucy is the first to find the secret of the wardrobe in the professor's mysterious old house. At first, no one believes her when she tells of her adventures in the land of Narnia. But soon Edmund and then Peter and Susan discover the Magic and meet Aslan, the Great Lion, for themselves. In the blink of an eye, their lives are changed forever.

I loved this book. Quite heart warming. Maybe because I get flashbacks from 4th grade, when we used to reenact the Turkish delight scene over and over again just in order to eat more Turkish delight.

Las Cronicas De Narnia El Caballo Y El Muchacho

Rebeca Keren Nuñez

"El caballo y su muchacho" de C.S. Lewis es una fascinante aventura que te transporta a un mundo mágico lleno de misterios y emociones. Publicada en 1954, esta novela forma parte de la aclamada serie "Las Crónicas de Narnia" y destaca por su narrativa envolvente y su mensaje atemporal.

La historia sigue a Shasta, un joven huérfano que vive una vida humilde en Calormen, un país desértico y hostil. Un día, Shasta descubre que no es quien pensaba ser y que su destino está ligado al misterioso país de Narnia. Junto con el noble caballo parlante Bree, Shasta se embarca en un viaje épico hacia el norte, en busca de libertad y aventuras.

En su viaje, Shasta y Bree se encuentran con personajes inolvidables, como la valiente niña Aravis y su fiel y leal yegua Hwin. Juntos, enfrentan peligros y desafíos mientras luchan contra fuerzas oscuras y descubren su verdadero propósito en el mundo.

Lo que hace que "El caballo y su muchacho" sea tan encantadora es su combinación de acción, fantasía y lecciones de vida profundas. A través de las aventuras de Shasta y sus amigos, C.S. Lewis explora temas universales como el coraje, la amistad y el destino, mientras nos sumerge en un mundo mágico lleno de criaturas fantásticas y lugares exóticos.

Además de su emocionante trama, la novela está escrita con la prosa rica y evocadora característica de Lewis, que te transporta a Narnia y te sumerge en su magia y maravilla. Los personajes están hábilmente desarrollados y su crecimiento a lo largo de la historia es conmovedor y satisfactorio.

En resumen, "El caballo y su muchacho" es una joya de la literatura fantástica que encantará a lectores de todas las edades. Con su mezcla de aventura, fantasía y sabiduría atemporal, esta obra maestra de C.S. Lewis perdurará en la imaginación de los lectores mucho después de que hayan cerrado sus páginas.

The Silver Chair

Sarah Sammis

My husband described The Silver Chair to me as the "book where the Narnia series jumped the shark" and I have to agree. It tries to capture the same sense of adventure and quest that The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Voyage of the 'Dawn Treader' have but it falls short in that task. The scenes feel forced, the tone preachy and oft-times patronizing and the dialogue wooden.

Then there is Aslan who reappears and gives a preview of his role in The Last Battle. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan is a reluctant martyr. In this book he flaunts his omnipotency and makes thinly veiled threats of things to come to those who do not follow his "signs."

I realize that the Narnia books are Christian fantasy "to make them easily accessible to younger readers" but even as a child attending Sunday school I was put off by Aslan's threats and the narrator's sermons in these later books. Rereading this book now as an adult was a chore and save for a scene or two in the Deep Realm, I didn't enjoy the book.

When I want to remember my childhood The Chronicles of Narnia is one of the first things to come up to my mind. They made my childhood's memories pleasant for the future. And with them my thirst for books began. Every child should this series before reaching adulthood.

sería un 3 o 3.5 pero la ratita se robó mi corazón ❤️‍🩹

The Silver Chair (Chronicles of Narnia)

Read 1: 4/25/2022-5/17/2022
Read 2: 4/22/2022-5/22/2022

When I read this the first time around, I wasn't as interested. Eustace was fine, but I didn't know Jill at all (and she's more the main character), and all the Pevensies were gone; Puddleglum reminded me of Gollum in my imagination, which meant I was kind of scared of him; and then they spend a good chunk of time underground in a creepy city with an evil witch lurking around. 

So yeah, I really remember not being a fan of this book.

I am thus SO HEKKIN GLAD that I read this again, holy cats. Even as an adult there was so much for me to take from this story, and Puddleglum is an absolute legend. I think we're actually the same person, which was by turns not a fantastic thing, and very encouraging.

Such a perfect & simple allegory. Love it.

In the first book of The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis shows us how it all began -- the glorious birth of Narnia at the hand of its unforgettable King. It is followed by six more books that collectively tell the history of a world that has become as real as our own.

The Magician's Nephew

A very sweet beginning to one of my favorite stories! 

It‘s indeed the beginning of everything we will know about Narnia, how it will be found and created and also how one of the biggest villains this world knows will come into it. But also how we humans, the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve, find this other world during the path of a Forrest so enchanting and filled with many ponds. But we must choose wisely in which waters we will step and move.

The ending and how all will be connected with each other is very touching! 

And I am very excited to read the entire story during the next weeks.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: A Harper Classic (Chronicles of Narnia)

For the sake of it being a classic, it's an easy 5 stars. But for what it is at this age, reading a children's story before bed, it gets a 3.5. It's fun to dive into Narnia again, but you can tell it's written for those 20+ years the younger.
