Cover of the Magicians nephew by C.S.Lewis. Books out loud on CD

We have copies of the books from the Chronicles of Narnia on CD and tape.  Some of the recordings are abridged - which means that it is not the entire story word for word.  We also have complete and unabridged versions which means that you can listen to the entire story.

DVDs

The world of Narnia has been brought to life by the BBC.  Nearly all of the books were turned into a television series that was shown around the world.  While the special effects are nowhere near as fantastic as the new movie, these adaptations of the books are a wonderful introduction to the world of Narnia for fans of all ages.
