Book 6 in the children’s classic fantasy adventure series
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 classic, The
Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100
million copies and been transformed into three
major motion pictures.
Gr 4-7-Book six of C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia series is dramatized here by the Focus on the Family Radio Theatre. The presentation includes the voices of approximately 24 English actors and actresses, a narrator, sound effects and background music. The voices are crisp and clear, and the characters are well delineated. The only flaws are the annoying and awkward grunts, groans, and sighs that are part of the sound effects. Douglas Gresham, Lewis's stepson, narrates the prologue and epilogue. There is excitement in the air as Eustace Scrubb's and Jill Pole's mission to save Prince Rilian from the evil Emerald Witch unfolds. As they escape from school bullies on earth, they are summoned by the great lion, Aslan, and given four signs to follow in their quest to bring the prince back to his aging father, King Caspian. Listeners will experience the cold and dark of the treacherous lands that Eustace and Jill traverse in this action-packed adventure that draws to a satisfying conclusion. A good purchase for libraries with C.S. Lewis fans.-Joanne Carhart, East Islip Public Library, NY Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
