“With amazing characters and abundant magic, this series is impossible to forget.” (Brightly) 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 C. S. 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 world 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's preferred order, each chapter graced with an illustration by the original artist, Pauline Baynes. This edition also contains C. S. Lewis's essay "On Three Ways of Writing for Children," in which he explains precisely how the magic of Narnia and the realm of fantasy appeal not only to children but to discerning readers of all ages. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to all readers, even fifty years after the books were first published.

A Must Read This is a single column copy of The Chronicles of Narnia. Having them all in one volume does make them a bit more difficult to read through, since the single volume is quite large to hold. But it is a great way to have multiple copies for multiple kids. The covers do get mangled pretty easily and end up ripping off. The story, of course, is fantastic and completely a must read. This particular format is problematic. I think if I had to do it over again I would buy a boxed set (which I have bought two or three times- these are very well read books around here). The Chronicles of Narnia are easily readable on a sixth grade level. Kids around third grade can read them if they are decent readers.Beautiful version of a classic This makes a beautiful gift for an adult of C.S. Lewis' children's classic that we should all go back and read every few years. The series is contained in one volume with a beautiful cover. I didn't get much out of the postscript essay on writing for children, since that isn't my goal or the friend I bought it for, but it's a nice touch. My only issue is the argument of printed order (which I have with all the recent publications of The Chronicles of Narnia Series) - this follows the modern suit of printing in chronological order of the story versus the published order. My personal opinion is one best falls in love with Narnia through the eyes of the Pevensie children in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and then reading in published order rather than starting with the Magician's nephew, but I could be biased since the first time I read the series was a set printed in publication order :)The hardcover edition is just one book! Beware of the difference between the hardcover and softcover of this edition: the hardcover is a single volume, and the softcover is a boxed set!But, with that out of the way, these books are some of the most delightful and thought-provoking stories you will ever encounter. I fell in love with them as a child, and still consider them among my favorite works of fiction—now I get to introduce a new generation of young readers to them, who I hope will enjoy them as much as I did at their age! C.S. Lewis is truly a master storyteller who incorporates important observations of human nature and lessons of morality and faith into a world of magic and endless possibilities.
