Well read. Great story

Of all the Chronicles of Narnia I have on audio, this is the best read. Being children's books, they are all read as if to children, but this reader does a great job of not going over the top. The voices are not over exaggerated, and it is read at a good pace.

This is a wonderful story, and, because of the quality of the reading, can be enjoyed by anyone.

The Battle Begins

Shasta is such a brave little boy that has the adventure of a lifetime. He met a young woman and two talking horses that had much of the adventure with him. I enjoyed this book.

His magnum opus, his chef-d’œuvre

My father read this story me as a boy, and I loved it then. Now, being grown, I love it even more.
But, if you are not one for emotionality—fear not! It is a fine work to literature, being worthy of any amount of reading, studying, and enjoying.
