Reddit mentions of The Chronicles of Narnia

Firstly, you should know that the current method of publication is to place the books in chronological order instead of original released order. This is generally regarded by Narnia fans as an inferior introduction to the series. If you are going to read the series for the first time, I highly recommend you read them in original release order, and finding a set that is congruent with that is difficult.

Secondly, I do not think there have been any "handsome" hardcover releases akin to the newer LOTR or even some of the "adult bindings" for Harry Potter. I wish there were.

Do not get this version. It's all 7 books in one binding. It's "out of order", and it's just not a comfortable read. It is the easiest to find however.

This publication is the last to use the correct order. But they are paperback and can only be found used and thus would be hard to find in good condition. Most of us Narnia fans would give a nostalgic recommendation for this version, but that doesn't mean it's the best for you today.

If you go to Narnia's official site you can see everything they offer now. It looks like you can by decent looking hardcovers individually (not in box set) or you can buy a few paperback box sets. All of these would be labeled in a newer chronological (and not recommended) order, but are probably the best way to go.

My closest is $20.48 Why do I want this? Reading is Important it keeps the mind healthy and it maintains the imagination. This is one of my favorite book series and I would love for my daughter to be able to read it when she is older,along with being able to read it again myself. Or an Alternative I could really use a GC toward my camera fund I have been saving up every penny I can but with bills and kids it is hard to do. Amazon raise the price of it up fifty dollars putting me back further [a hundred and twenty/thirty back] but I noticed today they lowered it a big now I am only about eighty dollars away. My goal is to get it by Sep 10th for an event I am attending I am hoping I can have the fund by then and that the price doesn't raise again.
