The Chronicles of Narnia 7-Book Box Set: The Magician's Nephew, the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, the ... Treader, the Silver Chair, the Last Battle

I have loved the Chronicles of Narnia since I was a kid and that is still the case. This kindle set is excellent value for money and makes it easier to read. Really pleased.

These books are excellent, fantastic quality at a great price, beautiful illustrations, love this edition.

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.

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 experience. It’s a bit like reading Alice in Wonderland without John Tenniel’s illustrations. A good read, but something is missing. 🙁

Good read love the series

The voyage of the dawn treader is the most adventurous of the amount of Narnia books i have read. It is first set at Lucy,Peter,Susan and Edmund's cousin Eustace's house. Eustace who is spoilt,believes he is better than everyone. Peter had gone to the proffesors house to study with him so he could help Peter. Susan was away on holiday with their parents to give her a break and so she could learn new things. At one time when Edmund and Lucy were in a bedroom at Eustace their cousins house, when Eustace came up to tell them to come down in an angry mood and suddenly the picture on the wall had water flowing out.Then suddenly they appeared in Narnia in the ocean in front of the ship in the painting. They were pulled up and met Prince Caspian to tell them why they are on such a long journey.Later in the book in the middle they come to a dark place where dreams come true and luckily they escape. At the end 3 children and Reepicheep set out for the end of the world and leave Reepicheep there then they find land and meet Aslan and he tells them they can't copme back to Narnia but if they want to see him again they must find out the name he is called on Earth.

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

I bought this set of The Chronicles of Narnia for my daughter's 7th birthday, and she absolutely loves it! She was so excited that she couldn't even wait until her birthday to open it. The books are of great quality with no unpleasant smell, and the paper feels nice and durable. The only minor downside is that the font size is a bit small, which can be challenging for younger readers. However, with a little help, she’s been enjoying the magical adventures of Narnia. Overall, it's a fantastic collection that makes a perfect gift for any young book lover. Highly recommend!

Fue un regalo para mi mejor amiga y está muy contenta con las ediciones, principalmente por lo compactas que son.
