Critics Review
-
“Forget Simba. There’s a new lion in the Magic Kingdom… Long before J.K. Rowling dreamed up Harry Potter, Lewis was busy with his seven book series.”
E! Online
“Like the ‘Rings’ cycle… the seven Narnia books have a long and loyal following.”
The Herald (U.K.)“Narnia offers huge scope for a profitable film franchise… fantasy is currently the toast of Hollywood.”
The Guardian (U.K.)“…a big, live action movie franchise to help spark new merchandising lines and theme-park attractions.”

Probably my favourite of all the narnia books. A comfort listen although I am far from being a child, it takes me back to when I first read them.
Michael York is excellent as narrator.gcr 2026-01-25
