The series was wonderful

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I never made it through the whole series in middle school. It was really fun to introduce it to my kids!

The Boy and His Horse

This third in the series audio book was wonderfully read. Revisited the Chronicles of Narnia in the author's order rather than the published order. Loved the surprises in this book!

A Magical Journey

A fun story with depth that like any good story draws form millennia of philosophy. Reading this book will make you a better person and following Shasta will inspire you for the uncertain journies you face.

The relationships in the story might remind you of some people while drawing you into a new setting of the Narnian world.

Lewis is a master of allegory and his themes in this story are accessible for adults and children alike. Sovereignty, the dark night of the soul, ontology of morals it's all there.

It's also a engaging and fun story about a young boy and girl. Oxford verified the documented in the book Planet Narnia, namely that behind the magic of this story is a depiction of the second medieval heaven, that is the sphere of the planet Mercury. The post-copernican world will still appreciate this charming story and should find truth within it's journey.

I really enjoyed this book.

The imagery is excellent. It is hard to make a mental movie right along as the narrator tell the story. Great book.

Fantastic Story-Telling.

So few are able to tell a story as well as C.S.Lewis. This book is so much fun and has such a good message. All of his allegories are first rate.
