It is a full hard covered book. The total unabridged version. A great read for a parent to read with their child. Worked great for parents as reading partners.

The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2007

The deal of a lifetime!
While it seems that many of C.S. Lewis' works have been compiled into collections since their initial publications, this particular collection might be one of the best available at the moment. That is, this collection might offer a comparatively larger bang for one's buck. Each of the titles contained within this single volume are more than worth their weight in gold, making the collection as a ...

Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold

188 reviews
C.S. Lewis

Harcourt Brace & Company, 1980

C.S. Lewis's Masterpiece
The first time I read Till We Have Faces, upon finishing the last page I immediately returned to the first page and began reading it again, something I have felt compelled to do only one other time in my life. It was Lewis's last work of fiction and, in spite of being written in first person from the viewpoint of ancient queen in a largely mythical past, his most personal. His deepest thoughts on ...

Mere Christianity

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

The Place to Start
MERE CHRISTIANITY represents an excellent distillation of Lewis' thought on the essential elements of Christianity. He knows, of course, that the word 'mere' can mean 'simple' or 'basic' but that it once meant 'pure' or 'essential'. This book gives you the supreme elements of Christian thought, but in simple, accessible terms. That is, of course, Lewis' forte--to depict the complex with a very ...

The Great Divorce

An insightful look into heaven and hell
In this book C.S. Lewis sets out to present a picture of the nature of heaven and hell through the device of an allegorical journey - by bus! - from hell to a place called the valley of the shadow of heaven. This book reads more like an expose than a traditionally plotted novel. Nevertheless, it's one of the most memorable books I've read. Among the most memorable notions of this book: the dense ...

Entire set of books is excellent!
I loved them as a child, and I still believe they are excellent! My nephews and niece especially enjoyed the series.

Great audio book
This audio book really brought the story alive. This and the book itself really makes you think on your own life. I would recommend this to anyone, saved or unsaved, because anyway you look at it its pretty cool.

The Four Loves

68 reviews
C.S. Lewis

Harvest Books, 1971

All loves in Love
Within this work, Mr. Lewis is quick to point out the inherent difficulty with regard to the concept of love facing individuals whose native tongue is English. That is, it is easily recognized that there exists an extreme deficit when one applies the same word to describe the sentiment shared with one's spouse, as well as their favorite food. In such extreme cases of difference in terms of the ...

A Grief Observed

A Grief Analyzed
Originally published under a pseudonym, this short book is a thoroughly reasoned but heart-felt analyzation of grief from the private writing journal of intellectual author and academia giant, C.S. Lewis. The object of his grief is the love of his life, his rare intellectual equal and friend whom he met later in life and fell deeply in love with, making her his wife. Born Atheist, C.S. Lewis ...

For those who don't have time to read you can't beat a good CD Box Set. It's the whole story and fun to listen to as you drive or work around the house. Perfect gift.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (The Chronicles of Narnia)

79 reviews
C. S. Lewis

HarperCollins, 2005

One of the best children's books ever written!
This is a wonderful novel. CS Lewis tells a tale of love and redemption in the land of Narnia. The four Pevensie children wander through a wardrobe into the winterland of Narnia, and discover that the curse of the Witch has made for perpetual winter. And younger brother Edmund is seduced by the power of the witch. But the Pevensie children, along with their faithful friends, turn to Aslan, ...

Out of the Silent Planet (Space Trilogy, Book One)

158 reviews
C.S. Lewis

Scribner, 2003

Clever sci-fi AND a compelling allegory!
Elwin Ransom, an Oxford don and an ardent philologist, is enjoying a solitary cross country ramble on his vacation when he encounters Professor Devine, a long-time acquaintance from his student days at Oxford, and Weston, a somewhat distracted and grumpy, reclusive individual. Weston is, in fact, a physicist who has secretly built a space craft in which he and Devine plan to return to Mars ...

Prince Caspian (Narnia)

C. S. Lewis

HarperTrophy, 1994

A Tale of Duty, Compassion, and Heroism
I largely credit my love of reading with The Chronicles of Narnia. My fourth grade teacher read the entire series to our class and I loved every minute of it. With the contemporary release of theatrical versions of the first two installments, I've enjoyed rereading the books for the first time in twenty years. Prince Caspian is beautifully simplistic. Aimed at children, the ideas of duty, ...

Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life

C.S. Lewis

Harvest Books, 1966

A Humble Spokesman for Reality
Surprised by Joy is a prerequisite if one is to experience the maximum benefit of C.S. Lewis' apologetic works. That is, while one might not actually, and perhaps should not, read Surprised by Joy before some of his other titles it will certainly provide the reader with a new appreciation of Lewis' perspective. Throughout his life, as it is evident in his writing, Lewis returns time and again to ...

so much more to me than just a fantasy saga
Courtesy of CK2S Kwips and Kritiques I've wanted to reread the entire Chronicles of Narnia series, back to back, for a long time and just never got around to it. When I found it in audio as a boxed set, I had to have it and it gave me the excuse I needed to revisit my childhood for a little while. In The Magician's Nephew, we discover the origins of the wonderful land of Narnia and how ...

The Abolition of Man

HarperOne, 2001

"The Needed Antidote"
This is a marvelous book for showing the rank and file American college freshman just how he or she may have been unwittingly propagandized in the lower grades. The reigning studenty "philosophy" these days is indistinguishable from classical sophistry's arguments that "everything is relative" and -since everyone has a right to his opinion - that all opinions are necessarily of equal value. I ...

Perelandra (Space Trilogy, Book 2)

87 reviews
C.S. Lewis

Scribner, 2003

The best of the series
C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy is easily one of the best series I've ever read, and while each volume is so strong that it's difficult to choose the best, Perelandra, the second book, builds well on the foundation laid by Out of the Silent Planet and, in the end, outshines the final book, That Hideous Strength. The story begins as Lewis, writing himself into his own story, arrives in the English ...

The Problem of Pain

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

Essential reading
As a dentist I've had the opportunity to treat several patients with chronic idiopathic oral-facial pain. While I can access the best scientific medical literature in the world on the topic I am consistently reminded of the spiritual aspects of pain by my patients. In this excellent treatment of the topic by the Oxford professor and prolific writer C.S. Lewis, we are challenged to see a loving ...

FANTASTIC
RHEINHART AND SABUDA ARE TRULY FANTASTIC. MY GRANDKIDS NOW OWN 7 OF THEIR BOOKS AND NEVER SEEM TO GET TIRED OF LOOKING THROUGH THEM. WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT, THEY READ THEM. NARNIA IS MAGICAL. STAR WARS IS WONDERFUL, THE WIZARD OF OZ IS FULL OF WHIMSICAL ART WORK. I HAVE NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR THESE AND ALL THE OTHERS THAT I BOUGHT. ALL THE ADULTS WHO LOOK THROUGH THEM, HATE TO PUT THEM DOWN ...

The Weight of Glory

36 reviews
C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

Great Reading
There is a jacket blurb on The Weight of Glory from John Updike, who comments on both the comfort and pleasure afforded by Lewis. Neither should be underestimated. This is great devotional writing but it is also great writing, writing that is typified by Lewis' ability to deal with the weightiest of matters with a light touch. It is a truism that our faith is reinforced whenever we see it ...
