Tells the tales of Narnia, a magical, fantastic place where good and evil battle, children have adventures as kings and queens, and beasts and creatures can talk.
ed.pendragon: There is magic and there are journeys, mythical beasts and young protagonists, moral judgements to be made and courage to be demonstrated; while the language is more adult, Earthsea is as vivid a world as Narnia and a place you will want to re-visit.
ed.pendragon: This is a rather darker version on the same door-between-the-worlds theme, where the magic resides in the north of a thinly-disguised United Kingdom reached by way of a Wall.
atimco: Both Narnia and Willows feature anthropomorphized animal heroes who nevertheless retain the quirks of their species. The narrative voice is humorous and quintessentially British. Both stories also include spiritual/religious undertones. Willows predates Narnia by over forty years and was a big influence on Lewis (he even wrote a poem with some of Grahame's characters in it).… (més)
Jannes: The Magicians would not exist if it wasn't for the Narnia books, and is the kind of loving deconstruction of Lewis' work and the importance us readers places in it that you will either love or hate. Give it a try.
palaephata: This series (there are really six) is another portal fiction that displays subtle Christian allegory. There's more fighting and less exploration of the world in White, and the reading level and content are just a little higher than that in Lewis. I'd read them about a year later.… (més)
cdcottam1: Both works are beautifully mystical and fantastical! Wildwood has many of the fantastical themes of Narnia without the blatantly religious undertones while still containing good moral lessons.
whitewavedarling: Santa Olivia is admittedly for a more adult-based audience, but themes, situations, and character types carry over between the works enough (plus a light integration of religion) that I think the readers of one work set would be well suited for the other.… (més)
This is an omnibus of all seven Chronicles of Narnia books. Please note the books appear in chronological order in this omnibus, instead of the original publication order. My biggest criticism of this book is that it leaves out most of Pauline Baynes' illustrations, leaving only the chapter header illustration for each chapter. I understand this was done in order to keep the omnibus from being too big, but being unable to see the illustrations lessens the reading experience. The fire lion on the cover and spine is lovely; the artist, Cliff Neilsen, has illustrated the individual TCON books as well. The paperback cover is very easily bent and damaged, as the book is so heavy. While it makes it heavier, I'd spring for a hardcover omnibus instead, especially if you're going to tote it around (the whole point of an omnibus). ( )
This book is definitely better read when one is younger. I picked it up because it is a book that I never got to before, but I feel that I would have enjoyed it much more ten years ago. ( )
Simply beautiful. It just sucks me right in. No matter how many times I re-read it. Though yes, I have my favourites.
1 The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe = 5 2 Prince Caspian = 4 3 The Voyage of the Dawn Treader = 5 4 The Silver Chair = 3 - This was a LOT of confusing. 5 The Horse and His Boy = 5 - my favourite of the lot, believe it or not! 6 The Magician's Nephew = 4 7 The Last Battle = 3 - My least favourite book, VERY frustrating and confusing.
The ratings are as of the first time I've read them. And darn, but did I read them in the wrong order LOL ( )

All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before. (From The Last Battle)
