    CLIVE STAPLES LEWIS (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a fellow and tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954 when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics, the Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and been transformed into three major motion pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars 85 Million Copies Sold: The Chronicles of Narnia have stood the test of time
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2005
Verified Purchase
In my new book, PASSPORT TO NARNIA: A NEWCOMER'S GUIDE, I try to put to rest the controversy about the order in which the books should be read, and for good reason: Lewis himself did not write these books as an interlocking whole, as did Tolkien (THE LORD OF THE RINGS) and J.K. Rowling (the Harry Potter novels). Lewis wrote that he wrote the books as they occurred to him, which is why he himself had no preference in which the books SHOULD be read. My contention is that the important thing is to READ these novels, not worry about the reading order. Besides, HarperCollins, his publisher, has made a decision to publish the books with THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW first, followed by THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE because, as is stated on the copyright page of the one volume hardback & paperback editions, "Although THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW was written several years after C.S. Lewis first began THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, he wanted it to be read as the first book in the series. HarperCollins is happy to present these books in the order in which Professor Lewis preferred.

Regarding the seven novels themselves and their readability: Great books come from great writers who can not only are outstanding storytellers but also offer more than mere diversion: Lewis, a celebrated scholar, teacher, writer, and popularizer of the Christian faith, was a literary giant; and when we read the Chronicles of Narnia, we see the world filtered through his worldview. The books and the writer are in this case inseparable; the books come from the writer and are deep expressions of his humanity, his views on courage and sacrifice and honor, which are at the heart of these seven novels. Having sold 85 million copies since 1950 (when the first book in the series was published), you can rest assured that the books have stood the test of time, entertaining and illuminating five generations of readers.

The only complaint I have about this boxed set is that the production values are mismatched: the covers are gorgeously printed, but the interiors use very cheap pulp paper, with blotty ink printing that obscures not only the text but the wonderful Pauline Baynes artwork. Since mass market paperbacks are routinely printed on pulp paper, the problem here seems to be the presswork: The over-inking of these pages obscures the printing of the text and obliterates the artwork. Since the one volume editions are issued from the same publisher, with readable text and no glaring deficiencies in the presswork, I hope that the publisher takes the time to correct what is otherwise a handsome, affordable, boxed edition.

A few comments about the forthcoming movie: the trailer looks wonderful and captures the sense of wonder that is Narnia. Early reviews are positive and, from all indications, Disney Pictures has a winner of a film and the beginnings of a major, new franchise. To my mind, the best thing about the movie is that it will prompt a certain number of people to go into the bookstores and look for the principal texts; I came to the Narnia books late in life, but reading them did what good fiction is supposed to do: Those books took me out of this world and into C.S. Lewis's wonderful and enchanting world of Narnia, and isn't THAT what superb storytelling is all about?

Bottom line: Despite my reservations about the printing of the interiors of these books, this is the edition of choice because of its price and portability. If you haven't read these books, now is the time to start: After December 9, when the film is released, everyone will be rushing to the bookstore to see what is next.

I look forward to the film release and also look forward to re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia again, just as soon as I finish re-reading Tolkien's THE LORD OF THE RINGS from cover to cover (including the appendices).

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ur-portal fantasy novels
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2023

I was five years old the first time I read C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. My first experience of it was in audio format -- my mother read it to my sister and me. My sister remembers that I told them, "This is about Jesus. Aslan is Jesus." They were skeptical, but they eventually realized I was right. Given that all three of us loved it, I think this shows that you can appreciate LWW regardless of your feelings about the religious message. (In this it is distinct from Lewis's Christian fantasies for adults, e.g. the Space Trilogy, which I found unbearably heavy-handed.)

I later went on to own and read (by myself, in ink on paper format) the entire Chronicles of Narnia. I can remember being distinctly annoyed at the illustrator for LWW, who, despite the clear statement "it was all three-legged stools in the Beavers’ house except for Mrs. Beaver’s own special rocking chair beside the fire" drew Mrs Beaver sitting in an ordinary four-legged chair.

These seven novels are, of course, classic speculative fiction for children, and LWW is one of the best of the seven. For the record, I think I would choose The Silver Chair as the best and The Horse and His Boy as the least impressive. But you should just read them all -- they're short enough.

I doubt that the Chronicles of Narnia were the first portal fiction, but by now I feel confident in saying that they are the earliest example to survive and still be widely read in 2023.

I’m very happy with the books. Wanted you all to know that the drawings in the book are black ink drawings, not full color. They are beautiful, but several reviews or descriptions said they were full color, and they are not. I bought the large size books, FYI. I would buy them again; they are an investment and will be passed down the my grandson when my days are done.

5.0 out of 5 stars $50 divided by 7 + $7.14
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2024

I admit, I hesitated spending about $50 for this box set but there ARE seven books.
I won't go into reviewing the Narnia stories themselves but rather what you are getting for about $7.00 a book.
Nice binding; the covers are similar to card stock, glossy with vibrant colours,
The pages themselves are thick and ALL the illustrations are in colour.
Considering a regular paperback itself retails for over $10, I would say this is a steal.
I read these books at least once a year so I think these will last a bit longer than the last batch.

Great for a sale/discounted item..but as it was, 2 of the books were crumpled and so was the slip cover holding the books together, great for personal use, but not as a gift, a they are partially damaged..maybe from factory itself, the handling or the carrier..if you dont care, great, but still a little disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece for young and old.
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023

There are books and then there are these books by C.S. Lewis. Our family has read hundreds of books over the years. No other series comes even close. The Chronicles of Narnia captures the heart and imagination of young and old. The rich language, the depth of the story, the truth brought so beautifully. A masterpiece.
As for the specific version in paperback, I would go for hardcover if you can afford it. You want to hold on to these and read them again and again and hopefully one day to your grandchildren too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A deep and moving read!
Reviewed in Canada on January 11, 2024

The Chronicles of Narnia is one of the best book series I have ever read. It can be read and enjoyed in a fantasy context only, but it takes on a much deeper and profound meaning when read within the context of Christianity. The more I learn about Christian theology, the more I appreciate what Lewis did with these stories. This is a book series that every child should read, and one that adults can return to several times in their lives.

It is a suspensful story and I love that story. It is like the second Harry Potter season. I wish somebody wrote a book just like this. And the quality is a little bit low and I think you have to improve it a little bit like when we have read a book and keep it in the pack and take out another book, the edges of the books are becoming bent. So I request you to kindly improve the quality.
