Narnia . . . where giants wreak havoc . . . where evil weaves a spell . . . where enchantment rules.

Through dangers untold and caverns deep and dark, a noble band of friends is sent to rescue a prince held captive. But their mission to Underland brings them face-to-face with an evil more beautiful and more deadly than they ever expected.

Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, a series that has become part of the canon of classic literature, drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over fifty years.

Fantastic for the whole family

Our whole family, kids ages 3 to 13 and their grownups, love this story, and Northam's narration is impeccable!

One of the best

I loved this book all the way through. Chronicles of Narnia, though usually framed as a children’s series, contains spectacular storytelling that anyone can enjoy. Jeremey Northam also did a fantastic job narrating and kept the story engaging and exciting.

Another great performance, another touching story.

I am really very pleased with this book and the man who performed it. This is probably one of the best Narnia readings done by Harper Audio. There were times where I almost thought the narrator was a different person speaking. Thats how good the voice acting is.

This book made me laugh so much sometimes (Ah, Puddleglum. What a great expression of C.S. Lewis's humor.) This book made me want to cry. Like many of the other stories there always comes a part where something tangible about God is expressed in such a way that if you've felt that sort of thing it will touch you to your soul. It's sort of hard to explain. Maybe if you read it you will be able to find out what I'm trying to say?

great reader & story

Loved it! As usual, C.S. Lewis carries my imagination away to a wonderful place, painting vivid lands, colors, tastes, & smells with his words!

Excellent.

This is one of the best stories in the series. Well read, and a joy to listen to. The reader does an excellent job of reading it as a children's book but not over exaggerating the character voices. Adults will find it engaging.
