Gather your family around the "radio" and step into C.S. Lewis's world of marvelous creatures, miraculous events, and perilous war against evil powers. Recorded in London it features acclaimed actors David Suchet as Aslan and Paul Scofield as the storyteller. An additional cast of over 100 actors, original orchestral score, and high- quality digital sound bring these tales of courage, self-sacrifice, and friendship vividly to life. Ages 8 and up. 19-CD boxed set, 22 hours total.

Between the lamppost and Cair Paravel on the eastern sea lies Narnia, a mystical land where animals hold the power of speech . . . woodland creatures conspire with men . . . dark forces, bent on conquest, gather at the world’s rim to wage war against the realm’s rightful king . . . and the great lion Aslan is the only hope. Into this enchanted world comes a group of unlikely travelers. These ordinary boys and girls, when faced with peril, learn extraordinary lessons in courage, self-sacrifice, friendship, and honor.
These classic stories have enchanted millions around the world. Radio Theatre brings them to life in this dramatized audio production. Recorded in London with an all-star cast of England’s brightest talent from the stage and screen, an original orchestral score, and cinema-quality digital sound design, this innovative recording provides hours of entertainment for the entire family. The Chronicles of Narnia includes The Magician’s Nephew; The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; The Horse and His Boy; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; The Silver Chair; and The Last Battle.

When I was a little girl, I remember my dad reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to me at night. He used a variety of voices and rather interesting sound effects to bring the story to life and transport me into the world of Narnia.

That is exactly what Focus on the Family has done in their true-to-the-book dramatizations of The Chronicles of Narnia. When my dad gave me the CD set for Christmas, I’ll admit what first caught my attention was that actor David Suchet plays the part of Aslan the Great Lion. Suchet also stars in the role of Hercule Poirot in a series of famous British mystery shows I like. The rest of the talented cast, combined with music and realistic sounds, make the stories intriguing, suspenseful, and believable.

As you may know, C.S. Lewis wrote the Chronicles as allegories of the Christian life and as explorations into spiritual truth. This is not overlooked in the CDs, which makes each of the stories both fun and entertaining for young listeners and a bit deeper and thought-provoking for maturing hearts and minds. Includes all seven stories adapted for theater. Over 22 hours, on 19 CDs.
