Television and audio cassettes have opened the doors of C S Lewis' world beyond the wardrobe to a lot more children. These seven neatly abridged cassettes represent a whole, accessible mythology of mysticism and enchantment. The adventure begins with Polly and Digory's entrance into the dead world of Charn through the power of Uncle Andrew's rings and is deepened by the aura of symbolism around Aslan and the evil witch Jadis. The re-issued and attractively - though awkwardly - re-packaged titles have five different professional and evocative readers including Ian Richardson, Michael York and Claire Bloom.
