The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis

Book DescriptionAll seven books in the Chronicles of Narnia are now available together in a hardcover volume which includes an essay by C. S. Lewis, “On Three Ways of Writing for Children,” where he explains precisely how the magic of Narnia first came to life.

Since its release in the middle of the last century, the Chronicles of Narnia have enchanted over sixty million readers—children, as well as adults. This new hardcover edition for adults includes all seven books, plus C. S. Lewis’s essay, "On Three Ways of Writing for Children."

About the AuthorC. S. Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer 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. His major contributions in literary criticism, children’s literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. 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 The Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.
