The Chronicles of Narnia, One-Volume Edition, Softcover

C.S. Lewis' classic series is now available in an attractive streamlined paperback volume that includes the complete text of all seven books. A Pauline Baynes illustrations pulled from the original 1950s editions graces each chapter, and the unabridged text, presented in C.S. Lewis' original spelling and punctuation, is also used. Now adults can enjoy the entire series as much as the next generation.

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 Clive Staples 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 land 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' preferred order, each chapter graced with an illustration by the original artist, Pauline Baynes. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to readers of all ages, even fifty years after they were first published.

C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English literature at Oxford University until 1954 when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. His major contributions in literary criticism, children’s literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include The Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.

When I was four years old, my parents started reading me the series. LWW was always my favorite, and even as a child, I saw that Aslan died for Edmund, just as Jesus died for us. It is amazing how Lewis wrote those books. They are a treasure to me, and I just can't get enough of them! Yes, I believe in the Deep Magic.

I am an avid Lewis fan. I began to read these stories to my then 5 year old daughter and she loved and still loves these stories.

Every time I read the Chronicles of Narnia, I get something new out of them. When someone reads the Chronicles in an allegorical fashion, it gives you an entirely new perspective on Christ and what He did for us on the Cross. I recommend these books to anyone, child or adult, who wants to expand their mind and imagination and grasp hold of some important life lessons as only a master storyteller like C.S. Lewis can do.
