Fully dramatized and produced with cinema-quality sound design and music, each title in Radio Theatre's Chronicles of Narnia is now available in a travel-friendly size. Hosted by Douglas Gresham, stepson of C. S. Lewis, these timeless classics have mesmerized millions around the world. Upon entering an enchanted world called Narnia, four ordinary children learn extraordinary lessons in courage, self-sacrifice, friendship, and honor. Brought to life in London by a cast of more than 100 actors, including award-winners Paul Scofield, David Suchet, and Ron Moody, the 7-part Chronicles of Narnia provides over 22 hours of exhilaring listening entertainment.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: Four children in search of an adventure find themselves in the far-away land of Narnia—a world populated by talking animals, an evil White Witch, and a fearsome lion named Aslan. Over the years, countless millions have made the same journey, through C. S. Lewis' imaginative novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Now that incredible story unfolds as never before in the audio dramatization of this immortal classic-from the Peabody Award-winning Focus on the Family Radio Theatre team. Featuring talented actors, film-style sound design, and a rich musical score, this thrilling tale reminds us of the greatness of God's sacrificial love.

Review

Focus on Family Radio Theatre's production of the tale of four London children who step through their wardrobe into enchanted Narnia includes a full orchestral score, compelling sound design, and a script that remains true to the classic C.S. Lewis book. Older children will better appreciate the British flavor and slower pacing of the story, while adults will find the introduction by Lewis' stepson interesting. A 1999 Parents' Choice Gold Award Winner. (Parents' Choice®) -- From Parents' Choice®

From AudioFile

This production of C.S. Lewis's classic is top-notch from start to finish. Listeners will be absorbed from the story's introduction to its triumphant end. Excellent interplay between dialogue and narration brings Lewis's story to life, and well-selected sound effects add depth: You can feel Narnia unfurl around you with the sounds of creaking doors, crackling fires, and sleigh bells. Most astonishing of all is the ability of the four children acting the main parts. Individually their voices are engaging and precise; together they work seamlessly to produce real dialogues with perfect timing and fully realized characters. A word of warning: This production is so strong that the witch is frightening and Aslan's sacrifice truly chilling. Parents should listen to help their children through the scary parts; they too will be richly rewarded by this classic tale.

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 classics, the Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and been transformed into three major motion pictures.

While well-read books on tape can be excellent, there is no replacement for multiple actors/voices. We love to use these for drives with the kids. Great for the imagination.

This is an incredible recording of the The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe! We listened to it on one long leg of a road trip. It's not just read like typical audio books but it's performed! Loved it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable adaptation

I love this BBC version of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." The story is a classic, and this script is very true to the book.
The production is very well done, like most of the BBC's audio theatre. The voice actors do a great job, and actual children play the four kids. The various accents of the British Isles are on display, which adds a realistic touch. Music and sound effects are well used to evoke mood and excitement. Imagination is one of the main benefits of radio theater, and the BBC knows how to do it right. The White Witch is terrible. Aslan is good, but not safe.
I think that they have produced, or are currently producing, the entire series as audio dramas. I will definitely be looking into the others.

Took long day trip with 9 year old granddaughter and wanted something besides electronic entertainment. She even requested we play the 2 nd disc to hear the rest of the story. Great way to introduce some of the classics to our younger generation.

This telling of C.S. Lewis' beloved TLTWTW is very well done. The ultimate is to get your hands on the full set. It offers a great way to further enjoy this well crafted story for young and seasoned. Other works of Focus on the Family's Radio Theatre are also highly recommended. Happy listening.
