Publisher's Summary

Don’t miss one of America’s top 100 most-loved novels, selected by PBS’s The Great American Read.

Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the second book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has been drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over sixty years. This is a stand-alone listen, but if you would like to explore more of the Narnian realm, follow up with The Horse and His Boy, the third book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

What the critics say

"The only thing better than exploring Narnia with your children is having Michael York do it with you. With his precise, but lively, British accent, he eases listeners into the mysterious world hidden behind the wardrobe." (AudioFile)

"This classic tale celebrates its 50th anniversary with a delightful audio rendition. Actor Michael York's reading is a perfect match for this story." (School Library Journal)

Still Fun after all these years!

Having recently listened to all seven of stories in the Chronicles of Narnia I was pleasantly reminded of what great stories they are - filled with great adventures in wonderful lands populated by all kinds of amazing creatures and characters. However, I have to say that of all the great (and famous) narrators they managed to pull in to breath new life into these classics of children's literature, Michael York's performance topped the list. Although there isn't a bad listen in the bunch, to be sure! #Audible1

Great novel.

Captivating. Very descriptive. Had to use the dictionary a few times. Listened to it on long drives with the kids who are 5 and 6 years old who also liked it though they were initially afraid but got over it soon enough.

Great story!

The story is engaging, I played it in the car for our 5 and 2 year olds and they enjoyed it. The only complaint I have is the volume can vary a lot suddenly, such that it'd be hard to hear for one paragraph, to being too loud the next.
