Chronicles Of Narnia 7 Book Collection Box Set

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.

Good read love the series

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. 🙁

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

I ordered the chronicles of Narnia for myself because they are my favorite childhood books and I thought it would be interesting to re-read them after all these years. The books were sealed upon arrival and I feared I wouldn't be able to read them, as I read a lot of complaints regarding font-size. The font is not that small at all and I can read without any trouble. So, do not hestitate to buy these books. I also love that the illustrations are not in colour. I also prefer soft cover books because they are easier to hold while reading. Even though they are not the most visually beautiful books you'll ever see, they serve its purpose. Especially considering the affordable price. In my country I could only buy one book of the collection for the same price, so I am absolutely happy with this purchase.

These books are really superb for anyone that loves collecting nice looking books or for someone that is a fan of the Narnia series. The quality of the book container is thick cardboard, but mine came with a knock in the corner which was a little frustrating but not the end of the world, as I can just face that against the wall. Each book is a hardback and the pages are of high quality and have a nice glossy finish to them. There is included art work of the different maps which is amazing to see, some pages have illustrations too and the font is a comfortable size to read without straining the eyes. I have not read the books yet but just love having this collection on display. I have included some photos. I really recommend this set. TAKE NOTE: From looking at other reviewers, It looks like Amazon are grouping different versions of sets together so just make sure that you buy from the right seller that can sell you this one.

Such boring and hard to read books. Waste of money

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!

Hasarsız geldi, kitaplar çok güzel

Bien reçu la collection complète sous plastique. Elle fera un beau cadeau.

An absolute classic. I was read these books as a child, I gifted them to a family member and read them to that person at their bedside in hospital. Now I’m sharing them with my own children and they are obsessed. High king Peter and Queen Lucy often sashay round our house in character. I think that’s high praise indeed.

My son, aged 10, enjoyed reading the series as he found the storyline interesting.
