Review:
Children across the globe have bathed in the glow of C S Lewis's land of Narnia since the 1950s when the seven books that make up The Chronicles of Narnia were first published. Now, as new generations look to that magical and fantastical land for pleasure and escape, the seven Chronicles are presented together for the first time in one magnificent volume, The Complete Chronicles of Narnia.
Review:
With the original, traditional, black-and-white illustrations delicately and impeccably restored in glorious colour by Pauline Baynes, this beautiful book makes for a stunning addition to any bookshelf. Whether taking a trip down memory lane, back to the days when you were first captivated by Aslan, Cair Paravel and the White Witch, or introducing the wonders of Narnia to the latest generation, The Complete Chronicles of Narnia is the most enchanting way to retrace the magical journey that begins just behind the wardrobe. --Susan Harrison
“The magic of C S Lewis’s parallel universe never fades.”
The Times
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was voted ‘Children’s Book of the Century’ in the Keith Barker Millenium Awards.
“Forget Simba. There’s a new lion in the Magic Kingdom... Long before J.K. Rowling dreamed up Harry Potter, Lewis was busy with his seven book series.”
E! Online
“Like the ‘Rings’ cycle... the seven Narnia books have a long and loyal following.”
The Herald (U.K.)
“Narnia offers huge scope for a profitable film franchise... fantasy is currently the toast of Hollywood.”
The Guardian (U.K.)
“...a big, live action movie franchise to help spark new merchandising lines and theme-park attractions.”
Los Angeles Times

Book Description Gift edition. 7 Teile in 1 Band. 4°. 523 S. mit farb. Illustrationen von Pauline (Diana) Baynes. Dunkelblauer OHldr. mit silbergepr. Rücken- u. Deckeltitel u. Silberschnitt in Orig.-Leinenschuber. Vgl. LKJ IV, 376. - Schön ausgestattete Gesamtausgabe aller 7 Teile. - "Religiösität und mittelalterliche allegorische Erzähltradition bilden auch den Hintergrund für die sieben Narnia-Bücher für Kinder. In dem ersten Buch der Reihe, "The lion, the witch and the wardrope" (1950) führt L. die Kinder Peter, Susan, Edmund und Lucy durch die sich öffnende Rückwand eines Kleiderschranks in das magische Reich Narnia, das von den Kräften des Bösen in Gestalt der weißen Hexe beherrscht wird, aber in der Hoffnung einer Prophezeiung auf Erlösung durch den Löwen Aslan lebt. Der Kampf zwischen den Mächten der Finsternis und denen des Lichtes wird bis zum letzten Band der Reihe, "The last battle" (1956) fortgesetzt. . L.s Bücher reflektieren nicht unmittelbar die soziale Realität, aber mit der Betonung von Tugenden wie Treue, Liebe, Vertrauen, Hingabe und Pflichterfüllung und mit ihrer allegorischen Realisierung in der auch nicht perfekten Wunschwelt von Narnia suggeriert L., daß diese Werthaltungen auf die reale Welt übertragbar bleiben müssen" (E. Breitinger in LKJ). - Die englische Illustratorin und Autorin P. D. Baynes (1922-2008) wurde mit ihren Illustrationen zu Tolkins "Farmer Giles of Ham" (1949) und zu Williams-Ellis "The Arabien Nights" (1957) bekannt. Sie hat über 100 Bücher ausgestattet. - Sehr gutes Exemplar. Sprache: englisch. Seller Inventory # 103197BB
