Book 2 in the classic children’s fantasy adventure series
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants
of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential
writers of his day. He was a fellow and tutor in English Literature
at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to
the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge
University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more
than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his
works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His
most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere
Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The
Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classic, The
Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100
million copies and been transformed into three
major motion pictures.
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.
