Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of 13 dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day, to whisk him away on a journey "there and back again". They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.

Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there were Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve, but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg - whose true name (hidden from all he and Dunk encounter) is Aegon Targaryen.

Your husband or wife is no mere mortal, but an eternal soul who is going to grow closer to God or further from him because they are married to you. The biblical picture of the family is something far more powerful, far more dangerous, far more glorious - far more like a nuclear reactor - than anything else in modern society. No Mere Mortals: Marriage for People Who Will Live Forever shows how husbands can lead their wives, and how wives can follow their husbands, and how both together, building on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ, can shape future generations and the world.

J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron.

Publisher's Summary
The magical world of Narnia has been enchanting audiences of all ages for more than six decades. All seven novels in this beloved fantasy series are now available in one audiobook set to transport listeners to Narnia anytime, anywhere.
The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven children’s books by British writer C.S. Lewis. The series was published between 1950 and 1956 and has been adapted for many mediums, including radio, television, the stage, film, and video games. Considered a classic of children’s literature, The Chronicles of Narnia is Lewis’s best-selling work, having sold over 100 million copies in 47 languages. Among its many adaptations, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe film, co-produced by Walt Disney Pictures, is one of the highest-grossing movies in history. The highly successful motion picture introduced a new generation to the land of Narnia and its main characters, the Pevensie children.
In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, listeners meet Peter, Susan, Lucy, and Edmund Pevensie. After being forced to evacuate from their small town during World War II, the children are taken in by a professor living in the English countryside. While exploring their new home, Lucy stumbles upon a portal to the magical world of Narnia. There she encounters a faun named Mr. Tumnus, who informs her of his previous plans of turning her over to the evil White Witch, Jadis. What follows is an epic adventure for the Pevensie siblings filled with magical creatures like Aslan the lion, the Marsh-wiggles, giants, centaurs, and more. These audiobooks will transport listeners to a world that, like the Pevensie children, will make it nearly impossible to tear away from.
This audiobook series chronologically features all seven Chronicles of Narnia books and is narrated by an entire cast of expert narrators who bring the Narnian world to life in dazzling ways.

Love crawling into this story... I’ve read the books numerous times. It’s one of my ‘comfort zone’ stories. When feeling like a good book but unable to choose, this is one I always go back to. It was an interesting experience having it ‘read’ to me. I enjoyed it.

Brilliant Fairy Tales for kids 8-12
C.S. Lewis wrote this incredible literature in the 1950's. Despite their age, the stories are not dated in any way... and despite the themes (the author denies the Christian allusions, but the themes are unmistakable - it's allegory). the stories are not overpowering or preachy. This is the highest quality children's fantasy. The books relate whimsical events surrounding kids in a world populated with mythical creatures, talking animals, and figures of genuine good & evil. The character of Aslan is obviously a Christ figure - complete with self-sacrifice, incredible empathy, and altruistic ethics - but all of the other characters (human and otherwise) have very human flaws that resonate. The fantasy is necessarily sophomoric (it's a children's series, after all), but there are mature elements as well - conflict, battles, and death.
These books are rightfully beloved and qualify as true "classics" - readers of all ages can enjoy them (although I could see how "misogyny" could be accused - some of the female characters are stereotypical - but it's not bad imo... my daughter would be fine with this).
The seven books in the series are read by seven different readers - all well-known. All performances are excellent at the very least - Kenneth Brannagh, Michael York, Patrick Stewart... It includes straight-up brilliant performances from Alex Jennings and Jeremy Northam.
Altogether, this is a great value. Seven classic stories in one collection with 5-star readings. I broke it up - listening to other books between the Narnia tales - and it worked well. Coming back to this collection after reading something else was like coming back to a beloved familiar home. Having listened to a couple hundred Audiobooks (click on my profile), I can highly recommend that you buy this one. It's easily worth 4.5 stars out of 5.

A stellar value!
The story, of course, is a classic. The thing worth pointing out in this review is that instead of spending 7 credits over 7 months to get each book of the series separately, one gets them all together & for only one credit. The narrators & production values are impeccable, & the chapters are all helpfully labeled with the individual book titles ahead of them as well. I was dubious of this particular collection at first, based on its unofficial-looking cover art, but I can now report that it is precisely what you’d hope it’d be: the best readings of these classic books all in one superb package.

Excellent books, narrators, and price
To get all seven books of the chronicles of Narnia for one credit is too good to pass up! Lewis is was an excellent writer and storyteller that seems to perfectly mingle exciting adventures with deep spiritual truth. These books are all engaging enough to keep the youngest children interested, and yet have enough underlying messages to keep the oldest adults thinking. The only “downside” is that the narrators are all different, so there is a little bit of difference pronunciation of certain words, or occasionally a slightly different voice for a certain character, but this is almost negligible because there are different main characters for most of the books, and the male narrators are very similar. Prince Caspian was the only outlier, as it was narrated by a female. Though she did a great job, in my opinion it would have been wiser to keep the narrators all consistently male for continuity. I would highly recommend this collection.

Further Up and Further in to the World of Narnia
Wow! I am so glad that Audible now has this edition with all 7 books in it! I had been hoping to get all of the audiobooks and this set is just what I was hoping for! Each narrator does wonderfully with each of their own styles. Each story is so enjoyable and fun to listen to! I love the fantastical and spiritual themes these books hit. I would probably have to say that this is my favorite book series. Enjoy Narnia!

I read the Chronicles of Narnia as a kid and it was always one of my favorites. I read the series to my kids. I have no idea why they call this the Adult Box Set but everyone needs it. While all the narrators were at least very good I have to say my favorite is Patrick Stewart. How can you go wrong, 34 hours of one of the greatest stories for one credit.

Well...
ok I decided to listen to the series. As a child I never got past Lion, witch and the wardrobe. now listening to all of them I can say ehh. Louis write in a heavy concentrated imagery of Christian dogma and sexist view of the 50s. (i.e. Man is Alpha, Woman is submissive, and all animals are just Beast and are for our will). once you get past this the stories are ok. I did really enjoy the ending of the last battle. it was well written and almost an apology to to women and "beast"

could have been better
Voyage of the Dawn Treader was ruined by an overly bombastic reader, who came off as condescending rather than energetic. I couldn't even finish it. His 'voice' for Reepicheep was annoyingly cartoonish. His inflections & tone for Lucy were almost as bad, deliberately making her sound as stupid as possible. Action scenes were torture to listen to. He was practically screaming, and instead of being caught up, I kept having to fast forward until he calmed down. I haven't disliked a reader so much since hearing the 'great' Roy Dotrice mangle Game of Thrones.

Further in and further up!
If there’s a better story told to reset my compass to true north, please let me know. And the readers chosen to bring these 8 books to life are of the standard high enough to match these great adventures. 2020 may be our most dreadful year in living history, but what a morale boost and reminder that the best is yet to come. My only complaint is that now i recognize a homesickness for the land I’ve not yet reached. Further in and further up!

Ordinary nonsense
I was looking for something new after having read all I could get from Asimov. Well, the comparison is dreadful. While Asimov explores the future of humanity with amazing accuracy, carefully explaining the global consequences of technological breakthroughs, Lewis crafts a world where everything is magic and nothing has real consequences. The characters have simple goals but no complex necessity, they follow a journey paved with randomness and little cohesion, events happen by the Deus Ex Machina not because they make sense. The result is a myth, heavily influenced by religion, explaining death as "a better copy" of life. Exactly what Asimov expects from those who fear what he calls "the irreversible change", Instead of accepting death's finality and trying to improve life, Lewis offers a conclusion with questionable morality: "don't worry, you're all dead, it's fun".
The actors are doing a really good performance though.

Great strories, stellar performances, +some muzak
Great stories and stellar performances by famous Shakespearean actors, regrettably blemished by an "editor" slapping at random here and there 20 seconds of elevator music. Always the same 20 sec. piece! Sometimes it is between chapters but sometimes over the spoken text. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU DO THAT?
