Publisher's Summary

Following on from The Magician’s Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, this is a classic fantasy adventure from The Chronicles of Narnia.

Desperate to escape a harsh and narrow regime, two runaways unwittingly flee headlong into the centre of a terrible battle. This first sequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe includes all the hallmarks of its famous predecessor, though this time the fate of Narnia is wound up in the lives of its own children – and a talking horse!

On 9 December 2005, Andrew (Shrek) Adamson’s live-action film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will be released by Disney, and it is already being hailed as the biggest film franchise of all time, guaranteed to appeal to adults and children across the globe. The second film is already in development.

“When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness.” C S Lewis

The world need more storytellers like C S Lewis .

This third book of The Chronicles of Naria is a wonderful look into the lives of the children from the wardrobe. The moral value and goodness of the story warrants its inclusion in any school curriculum. A fable of good and evil and the gray areas in between.

Surprisingly great story

I'll admit, the first half of the book was a struggle but trodded onward regardless.

Then it all wrapped up very well.

Great performance by the reader, as I've mentioned in previous reviews; I enjoy the different voices, it keeps me engaged and minimizes confusion.

overall, 5 stars from me. Another great book.

Just adore these books

I first read these books as a child, and have continued to love them into adulthood. I’m not a religious person, but nonetheless love the story and same behind them. The narrator of this particular book reminded me of Sir Anthony Hopkins in some places, and he was very well spoken, however, win the storyteller does the voices of certain characters did make me cringe a little.

One of my fave Narnia Tales

Such an underrated Narnia story, everyone knows the Wardrobe but the other books are so much more interesting! Highly recommend. Excellent narrator.
