About this listen
The first in the series of the classic fantasy tales – The Chronicles of Narnia.
Written after The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe but designed by C.S.Lewis to be read first, this enchanting prequel – with its story of time travel, sorcery and magic rings – is essential reading for anyone who wants to learn the backstory to the biggest movie release of the year. Hurled back in time to the birth of a new world, two young friends get caught in the epic struggle between Aslan and his nemesis the White Witch.
©1955 C. S. Lewis (P)1955 HarperCollins UKCritic Reviews
“The magic of C.S. Lewis’s parallel universe never fades.” The Times
“When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness.” C S Lewis

Ah, Sweet Memories.
I always wanted to revisit the stories I enjoyed in my youth, and this one holds up! It is so wholesome, too. The performance is good, but the volume varies a fair bit throughout between narration and characters exclaiming, so be careful with headphones.

A book to set up the rest.
This book is a setup for things to come so don't expect an extravagant story. A must read though. Whether you've chosen to read the books by publication order or read this first - its still a mandatory read to make sense of the Narnia series and how it came to be.
I found the performance enjoyable and actually prefer the different voices as it helps with confusion of whom is speaking.

Great story, beautifully narrated
I have never read The Chronicles of Narnia before and this audiobook was a great start. It's beautifully written, has great concepts, and the narrator has a great deep soothing voice. I'm really looking forward to starting the next book, and reading CS Lewis to my kids.
