A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the second adventure in C.S. Lewis' magical 'Narnia' series.
C.S. Lewis (Author)
C.S. Lewis was born in Belfast in 1898. In 1917 he went to Oxford
University, but his studies were interrupted by the First World
War, from which he was sent home wounded. One of his friends at
Oxford was J.R.R. Tolkien. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was
published in 1950. Fascinated by the difference in time between our
own world and Narnia, Lewis wrote some of the books in a different
order to the events which they portrayed. An example of this is The
Magician's Nephew, which details the early history of Narnia and is
intended to be read before the others. C.S. Lewis died in 1963.
Gr 3-6-This classic tale celebrates its 50th anniversary with a delightful audio rendition. Actor Michael York's reading is a perfect match for this story. The narration is clear and distinct, and York's soft and soothing British accent adds the right touch. Listeners will fall under the spell of this master storyteller as they join Peter, Edmund, Lucy and Susan on their travels. Beginning with Chapter One when Lucy looks into the wardrobe and discovers Narnia and the faun, readers will find that this timeless story can still work the magic that C.S. Lewis intended. In this action packed tale, the four children take part in several adventures as they travel through Narnia on their quest to rid the country of the Witch and her followers. Narnia fans will want to listen to this story over and over again, and new fans will be created as they listen for the first time.-Ginny Harrell, William McGarrah Elementary School, Morrow, GA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
