The Complete Chronicles of Narnia: The Classic BBC Radio 4 Full-Cast Dramatisations

My 10 years old son Love it. He goes over and over. After listening to the audio he started reading the books. Amazing gift.

Could listen to them over and over and over again! Absolutely satisfied with the CDs!

Really enjoy this.

I could not be happier that these audio performances are still out here for children to enjoy. They were absolute magic for me then, and remain that way now. Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen!

Wonderful!!!

As a huge fan of the Chronicles of Narnia from my childhood, I was very excited to share this BBC Radioplay adaptationwith my daughter. The great advantage of radio plays over audiobooks is that the great cast of characters, music and sound effects bring the book to life in a way that simple reading cannot. BBC has done a great job in converting these classic stories into radio plays. The actors for all the lead characters give realistic and lively depictions of their roles.There, however, a few problems. First, the audio levels were not adjusted well, so when listening at home or in our car, we have to turn up the sound for the quiet parts, but then, you get blasted by the louder parts. Another, but smaller, quibble is that in the first few books, Aslan's roar sounds more like an asthmatic cat than a ferocious lion.This is a great way to experience all 7 books.

I love these, and have been looking for them for years. I had copies as a child that were scratched and I'm so happy to have finally found them. However, note that the description is incorrect as THESE ARE ABRIDGED. They tell the whole story, but they are not word for world audiobooks. They are adaptations performed by a full cast on BBC radio, and they are excellent, but do not buy them expecting them to be unabridged editions.

This is an excellent story and wonderful performance by the voice actors. It's abridged and very well done.I originally bought it from a search of "children's bed time story" but I was unable to get my daughter to listen past the first half hour.Almost immediately there's some mature themes with a boy who's mother is dying, a creepy uncle who sound villanous, and teleportation to a scary, dark world of ruins and death.My daughter is 6 years old and she is not overly sensitive, but the story was too scary for her.Hope this helps!

What can one say: SuperbI remember listening to these on the Radio in the 1990's with my late wife Angela who loved Narnia. We had a particular affinity with The Horse & His Boy and now my own daughter of eight is enjoying these timeless classics from a master writer. A great set. Reasonably priced and every bit as good as I remember them when they first came out.

We have absolutely LOVED listening to these CDs in the car throughout long journeys on holiday. The cds cover the whole of the Chronicles, which is really essential for children and adults alike to fully understand exactly what C.S. Lewis was and continues to say in the stories. By listening to all the stories, you have time to link up various themes and developments, and find you finally 'get it' and are challenged on a deeper level, especially from the Christian faith perspective and the Biblical references throughout.We would totally recommend these cds, and went onto watch a local stage production which was excellent.My 5 year old girl is a tomboy, so delights in the fact that she can play out the parts of being Peter or Edmond, but her 9 year old brother isn't so keen being left with the parts of Susan or Lucy understandably ... so he makes do with being Mr. Beaver to keep her amused! Enjoy!

I've bought and read all the Narnia books and have bought the audiobook until a couple of years ago. I love the voice overs and the narrations. Utterly brilliant and will make you feel you are in Narnia.

Our grandson has really enjoyed listening to this beautifully told story.

Fantastic dramatization of all the books. Close to the original tales but very accessible to an earlier reader. My 6 year old daughter has loved discovering the stories, and I have enjoyed listening to them too.
