When Lucy comes across the old wardrobe standing alone in the spare room, she thinks she has found a good place for hide and seek. But then she tumbles headlong into a magical world of fauns, dwarves, and giants, of animals that talk and horses that fly: the land of Narnia.
It is so extraordinary that, at first, her brothers and sister don't believe it can be real.

Set in the pre-Christian world of Glome on the outskirts of Greek civilization, it is a tale of two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, who is loved by the god of love himself, and Orual, Psyche's unattractive and embittered older sister, who loves Psyche with a destructive possessiveness. Her frustration and jealousy over Psyche's fate sets Orual on the troubled path of self-discovery. Lewis's last work of fiction, this is often considered his best by critics.

Story
One of the most popular books ever to come from the pen of C. S. Lewis was written in the name of Screwtape, a senior devil experienced in the art of luring his 'patients' on earth to their own damnation in service of 'our father below' - and training others to do the same. Screwtape's correspondence with his nephew, an apprentice devil, came into Lewis' hands, he said, by a route he would not disclose, and many a listener has finished the collection longing for more of the insights they gained from its wisdom.

Story
C.S. Lewis' famous work on the nature of love divides love into four categories: affection, friendship, eros and charity. The first three are loves which come naturally to the human race. Charity, however, the gift-love of God, is divine in its source and expression, and without the sweetening grace of this supernatural love, the natural loves become distorted and even dangerous.

The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this.'This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation.

Beautiful story, reading and music - magical
Micheal Hordern, a genius narrator, goes above and beyond for this Narnia series. Hordern's voices are brilliant, and he keeps the listener deeply engaged and involved. The harp and flute music is sublime, giving a sense of movement or of feeling, creating the scene powerfully and memorably. The combination of story, music and narrator is magical. All brilliantly done, I particularly like The Horse and His Boy from this series, it works particularly well.

Good storyline, poor execution
I love this story and have read it many times. Although the narrators voice is pleasant to listen to, I think the type of voice and story could have been better matched. the loud piercing music is also somewhat off putting. nonetheless, I enjoyed hearing the story again very much!

A wonderful book, but a terrible audible version! please refrain from loud music, louder than the voice if the reader.
