Wonderful stories that will take you into another world and maybe make you think as well. I don't know why people think that adults don't like pictures when they watch so much TV. If you've never delved into C.S Lewis' great fiction stories then here is the place to start. This particular edition has less illustrations as it is the adult edition.
I was a heavy reader and followed lots of series type books, but in this case the plot didn't really flow for me. My parents got me a box set of Lion Witch & Wardrobe books as a child. It was only since a few years ago that I looked back at the books and saw how glaring the connexions were, and how the awkwardness with which a story was crafted to match biblical myth was the very thing that made it uninteresting to me. I think I MAY have heard something about a biblical connexion, but didn't think on that that much. I read through the first one and found it nominally interesting, but not something that I would pick out on my own (I already knew the story from animated versions). I think I may have read half of the second one eventually.
Doesn't matter how old you are, you will enjoy this book. Lewis was a very talented writer. I was very pleased with the seller and would definitely buy from them again. This collection is one of the greatest books I have ever read. C.S.
The stories are great, and very easy to read and understand. The books of Narnia are wonderful, I bought and made an excellent choice.
In my experience, Amazon has always provided excellent service. This was purchased as a gift and was extremely well received. It arrived well packed and in a timely manner.
