5.0 out of 5 stars BEST Version - ALL 7 BOOKS. CHRONOLOGICAL w/ Full Color Illustrations!
This is a treasured COMPLETE set of The Chronicles of Naria by C.S. Lewis, ordered CHRONOLOGICALLY as the author intended. As can be seen by the cover, the illustrations by Pauline Barnes are full color and beautiful. They continue throughout the book.Here is the item description which seems to have been removed from this listing:"The Chronicles of Narnia have enchanted millions of readers over the last fifty years, and the magical events described in C. S. Lewis's immortal prose have left many a lasting memory. For here is a world where a witch decrees eternal winter; where there are more talking animals than people; and where battles are fought by Centaurs, Giants, and Fauns.Now all seven Chronicles are bound together in this one magnificent volume with a personal introduction by Douglas Gresham, stepson of C. S. Lewis. Pauline Baynes' original and much-loved illustrations have been made even more memorable by the addition of color. This spectacular gift edition will guarantee that C. S. Lewis's timeless world of Narnia will catch the imagination of yet another generation of readers."Bolo used to offer this for the retail price of $49.99, but it is currently unavailable (as of 11/2008). Other sets use the same illustrations, but many come only in black/white and are smaller than this version. I believe it will likely become harder and harder to find.The pages are a good size (about standard letter 11x8) with sizable enough text for easy reading, even for young children. The layout of this book is terrific for engaging young children as well as the young at heart (:. Highly recommended.P.S. As the order of reading is such a hotly argued issue among avid fans, here is the full original script (from Wikipedia):To make the case for his suggested order, Gresham quoted Lewis' reply to a letter from an American fan in 1957 who was having an argument with his mother about the order:"I think I agree with your order [i.e. chronological] for reading the books more than with your mother's. The series was not planned beforehand as she thinks. When I wrote The Lion I did not know I was going to write any more. Then I wrote P. Caspian as a sequel and still didn't think there would be any more, and when I had done The Voyage I felt quite sure it would be the last, but I found I was wrong. So perhaps it does not matter very much in which order anyone read them. I'm not even sure that all the others were written in the same order in which they were published."Here C.S. Lewis verifies his preferred order to be CHRONOLOGICAL though I believe the confusion derives from a misinterpretation of his statement "So perhaps it does not matter very much in which order anyone read them.". The most important part of this 1957 statement to note being that the word 'read' is in the past tense. His fans at the time would have read and might even prefer his series in the order it was published. However, I agree with the author.(From Wikipedia) In the Harper Collins adult editions of the books (2005), the publisher asserts Lewis' preference for the [chronological] numbering they adopted in a notice on the copyright page: "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 which Professor Lewis preferred."Peace, BenEph 3: 17-21
5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent gift book. If they can handle Harry Potter, they can handle this.
Big, beautiful hardcover edition with original Pauline Baines illustrations. Leaves off with the Magician’s Nephew, but you can skip ahead to LW&W.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless Classic in a Beautiful Format
A timeless classic. The story itself is incredible. We love having all of the books together in one huge volume like this, but obviously it doesn’t travel well. We keep it on the nightstand. I think it’s beautiful. We absolutely love it. The only “problem” is that an entire chapter may only take up 2-3 pages in the format, so my 6-year old is always looking ahead at illustrations that are for parts of the story that are pages away, because they’re right there on the same page…. I don’t know if that makes sense? Anyway it’s a huge winner for our family. It’s a classic, and something we can pass down and will hold up well. His writing is so timeless and truly brings magic back to reading. Come to these tales if you are seeking entertainment that still keeps the kids of this iPad/dopamine junkie culture engaged.
5.0 out of 5 stars A family keepsake for Narnia fans
The media could not be loaded. A stunning, high-quality book with beautiful illustrations. This was exactly what I was looking for. My children are a bit younger now, and the illustrations help them better understand the story. I wanted a keepsake book for my family--something I could read to them as they get older, but also something they could read to their own children someday. The paper quality is very high, the colors and print are great, and the words are just the right size for my 39-year-old eyes. In a good way, I'm almost hesitant to leave this in the kid's room. I can tell this will be an important book in our family library for years to come!
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Classic and Endearing Book
Loved this oversized five pound book very much. The illustrations are beautiful and enhance the reading experience! Good for children and adults who love classic fiction! Also if you e never read the entire Chronicles of Narnia as I had not, then this is the best way! Delightful Christian allegory.
4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book! Came a little damaged
This book belongs in everyone’s library!! Unfortunately mine came with the front and back cover covers coming apart at the spine. I was able to use some superglue to mend and it helped a little. Aside from that, this book is so beautiful and magical and perfect for any age!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful but small print may not work for all readers
Print is small but totally readable for me. Might be too small for others. Illustrations are beautiful and paper is high quality. A great option for bedtime stories and the all-in-one makes it easier to not lose volumes (which happens in our house).
5.0 out of 5 stars Love this purchase!
This book arrived in perfect condition and very quickly. The book is just as described, also: top-notch!
Great book for both adults and children!!
This book is a great collect to your library. The paper quality is really good. The font is neat. It’s illustrated too. I saw somewhere that this book was supposed to have a dust jacket but I don’t get one with mine.. the packaging was not very good.. it was bent in a little at the edge ..but on the whole very happy with this..worth it
