Editorial review


By Seth Hartman, Audible Editor

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA IS A CULTURAL TOUCHSTONE FOR THE AGES

When I think of The Chronicles of Narnia, I am transported to my childhood bedroom at the impossibly late hour of 9:30 PM. My dad is squinting at his yellowed 1976 edition of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, dust kicking up into the air with each turn of the page. As he speaks of fauns, stone tablets, and Turkish Delight, my little brain is working on overdrive to make sense of it all.

All seven books in the series have vastly different storylines, main characters, points of view, and in the case of the audio version, a different narrator for each title. For most Narnia fans, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the first book they experience, and it's also the best known book in the series. In later editions of the series (including this one), The Magician’s Nephew is considered to be the first book since it takes place much earlier in the canon, starring a young Professor Digory Kirke as he discovers Narnia. I started this series with Wardrobe, however. The story of siblings Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy stumbling upon a magical land and taking on the evil White Witch is nothing short of a timeless classic. With the mighty lion Aslan and the kind faun Mr. Tumnus on their side, these four children are tested and forced to mature quickly in order to rise to the challenge.

While it certainly transports the reader into a highly conceptual fantasy world, the secret sauce to this series is the stellar character writing. Put simply, each of the four children represents one major character archetype: Peter is brave and headstrong, Susan is wise and resourceful, Edmund is agreeable and easily manipulated, and Lucy is kind and loyal. As a kid, I found myself admiring Lucy’s grit and determination in difficult situations. These character outlines may be basic, but author C.S. Lewis uses them to great effect, weaving complex character dynamics while keeping it simple enough for anyone to follow along. While the four children do not appear in all seven books, these sorts of character tropes live on with each trip to this magical and faraway land.

Featured Article: The top 100 fantasy listens of all time


When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.

A Perfect Covid19 Read.

I am 73 years old and read this to my son as he was growing up. I was looking for something comforting to listen to during this dark time.
it was just perfect. The performances of the readers were amazing. Thank you all.

Well worth the purchase production was excellent!

I have heard many renditions of the Chronicles of Narnia, but this series brought me back to my childhood when my mother used to read the books to me. Very well done!

This was amazing!

It was great having all the books in one set and of course I just LOVED that one book was read by Sir Patrick Stewart, how fun!

the chronicles of narnia

It was hard to finish due to the fact that the narrator changed every book.

Well worth a credit

Overall, it's a fabulous deal. You get all the stories for one price.
None of the narrators do a poor job.
So if you would not have bought one or two of the included titles it's still worth the price.
You can consider those as thrown in free.

Immersive though not very hooking

Although the story is quite epic in every shape of the word, it does leave you quite unsatisfied. The journey is fun but doesn't really give you the angst that I would like to have from a franchise like this. Besides LWW the series doesn't seem to have strong antagonists character wise. I also found that the story wasn't very hooking, I don't feel the itch to come back to it every day like other audiobooks I've listened to but once you get into it its fun never the less. I would also like to mention the performances. In ,y humble opinion they were quite faultless, and it was a pleasant surprise to hear the voice of sir Patrick Stewart in the final installment of the series.

Get lost in the Story

I was glad to tweet that movies stuck close to book. These books are so amazing, I am buying the hard copies. Allow yourself to get lost in the story and swept away in the world of Narnia.

Worth every minute...

This is not just an amazing story, but it is also an amazing allegory of Jesus. The Audible presentation was excellent, and I found myself listening at every available moment. Bravo! Well done!
