Summary: A Daring and Magical Adventure
Review: Imagine living in a world in which it is always winter, but never Christmas because of an ancient spell. Your country is being ruled by a witch, who calls herself a queen, that put the spell on the land. Plus, having an untame lion as the Ruler of All Lands. This land, called Narnia, is the world in which the four Pevensies; Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, find themselves after walking through an old wardrobe. As they befriend the many animals of the forest, they learn all about the evil witch and Asland, the Ruler of All Lands. After learning that the two will be meeting, the four children go off on a daring and magical adventure to meet Asland and to track down the White Witch. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was as hard to put down as Harry Potter! Of all the books in the Chronicles of Narnia series, this one is the best. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has a great plot and C. S. Lewis tells it wonderfully.

Summary: The wonder of Narnia
Review: I read this book when I was a small boy just discovering the wonder of books, it is one of the reasons why i still read books today. As such it has special meaning to me and I could not resist reviewing it. The story is about a group of children who discover a secret magical land where they can be heroes, accessable through a wardrobe. Some people may be a bit put off by the references to the religious undertones of these books, It would be a tragedy if some where put off reading these because of this. I for one was completely unaware of the christian undertones and just read it for the great story it is. The book has stood the test of time and to me is a classic. The one thing I regret is that I do not have children (so far!) to give books like this to, so if you do, don't miss the chance.

Summary: The BBC Radio Theater Dramatization
Review: The BBC does a superb job. While it is an abridged version, it elegantly done. Excellent English children's voices and sound effects. I highly recommend it for long road trips, adults and children alike. Younger children (ages 6 and under) probably will not get much from it. But we parents loved it!

Summary: A must read book!
Review: C.S. Lewis crafts a world full of astounding creatures, where things you never thought could happen, do happen. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a great book with a meaningful plot. The concept of the wardrobe adds to the magical world of Narnia. Many times I found myself not able to put the book down. The interesting chapter titles make you want to read on until you finish. The great descriptions of Narnia and the many different characters make them come to life, especially the characters of Aslan and the White Witch. The symbolism of these two characters makes you think deeper into the book. I would recommend this book not only to children, but to people of all ages.

Summary: Perfect for a Child
Review: I think this book is a classic children's novel. Full of fun and fantasty, the book is an exciting romp through the mystical land of Narnia. With a devious power-stricken witch and an awe-inspiring lion, the story shows the classic battle between good and evil. However, the book's characters are symbols for those in biblical stories. For example, Aslan, the lion, is Jesus, and the Witch is Satan. The story is perfect for children because through the course of the novel, the character Edmund discovers that being on the side of good is better than turning to evil. He learns, through selfish reasons, that being on the side of good is more benifical. This young children to turn to God without seeming "preachy". Overall, this second book in the Chronicles of Narnia is perfect for teaching young children morals.

Summary: This book should be read by every child and adult!
Review: I have always read every new edition of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". I recently walked into a bookstore and found this new full color edition and let me tell you it was fabulous! I loved all of the full color illustrations in the book! They were simply beautiful! I bought about six copies for my closest friends. I think that not only will children love the story, but they will love the beautiful illustrations. I commend C.S. Lewis for the tale that he has weaved into our society. Children should be reading stories like this instead of books that have no worth. All parents should buy the box set for their children this Christmas! It would make a wonderful gift that they will always treasure and cherish!

Summary: Great for all generations...
Review: I loved this movie when I was a child, so I bought the book for my 8-year-old--she loves it! She hasn't been able to put it down since she got it and she asked me to buy all of the Narnia Chronicles. What a wonderful story!

Summary: The Original Narnian Tale
Review: When C.S.Lewis wrote the Chronicles of Narnia, this was the first tale that he produced and not "The Magician's Nephew". There is a problem with ordering the books other than in the way that Lewis published them primarily due to the fact that the mystery of Narnia is better revealed when you read the books in this way. The reader is meant to "discover" Narnia as the children in Lewis' classic tales do. What makes these books so powerful is not necessarily the message of Christian Dogma that Lewis spent his life analyzing and lecturing on, but the incredible gift of story telling that Lewis possessed. Lewis had the ability to make the people, places, and things that he wrote about come alive and leap off the page. While reading about the fine feast served at the last stop before reaching the end of the world (in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader)one can almost taste it. One can almost see the heavy smoke curling down out of Puddleglum's pipe in "The Silver Chair", or feel as if you are actually taking tea with Tumnus in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". I view the Chronicles of Narnia as classics of Children's Literature and something that should be apart of the reading list of any child as they reach the fourth or fifth grade. Even adults will find them to be facinating reading. Of all the works that Lewis produced fiction or non-fiction, I feel that these are the works that he will be best remembered for.

Summary: Great book for the summer
Review: Great book with a science fantasy look that makes your spinetingle when you read it, and don't know what's going to happen next. I love the Land of Narnia because it is like a wonderland where animals can talk and trees are alive.... I don't want to spoil your reading, so I'll stop here. ENJOY READING IT! END
