The COMPLETE Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis – read by Chrissi Hart (Audiobooks)
Here’s an amazing treasure for you: The COMPLETE seven book Narnia series by C. S. Lewis, in audiobook format. These programs were originally recorded for broadcast on the Ancient Faith Internet Radio station (which we occasionally listen to and enjoy – especially their music station). The reader is Chrissi Hart, who has a lovely British accent just perfect for these readings. The readings are STREAMABLE ONLY, so between the seven books in the series, there’s almost 50 hours of listening here! Wonderful for family or bedtime listening… bookmark this site and enjoy this incredible treasury of some of the best children’s books ever!

…AND EVEN MORE AUDIOS!
Want to know more about the author and his writings? AllAboutCSLewis is a site filled with many more podcasts about Lewis and both his theological and literary works — including some very good commentary on the Narnia stories, which are collected on a single page here. Very interesting and entertaining listening! (The map above, which was an illustration from an early edition of the Narnia books, is from their site.)
The link to download the complete Narnia series is not working. Any suggestions?
Just patience. Their servers are no doubt getting overwhelmed from our traffic this morning, so their service may be a bit slow or spotty for a while. If you have trouble getting through, please try again later or over the weekend.
Yes I keep getting kicked off…I think there are a lot of folks try to get the downloads
Am I missing one link on the Radio website where you can get the entire series at once? Looks like a bunch of broken up podcasts.
Emily, as we mention above, there are 101 half hour podcasts. There is not a single "all in one" download link. There's no need to download everything at once… just bookmark the site and download as you go through them.

Jim, thank you for this wonderful find of a resource. The reader's voice is lovely as I am listening right now to a sample of the first chapter that just came in. I look forward to listening to these with my family. The two chapter readings make a nice read-aloud session that give this Mom a break when she can just listen and enjoy.
Thank you again.
So then If I'm reading this correctly, these are free on an ongoing basis? No need to rush in and get them all before some deadline?
There's an itunes link, and from there you can get them all with one click
If you want to get them all at once and you use itunes, you can subscribe to it as a podcast on the right side of the screen. It will open itunes and you can go to podcasts, open the podcast and click "get all"
As far as we know, these will stay up indefinitely on the Ancient Faith Radio Site. Bookmark their page, and you can access it any time!
If you had problems accessing this today… be patient and try again later. We hammered them with our traffic today and it WILL be easier to download in days to come.
These are wonderful. Thank you so much for cluing us into these great chapters!
Thanks so much! I put that page on my favorites list along with yours. *smile* Sincerely, Mommy of two little blessings & so much more!
A little techie tip:
If you have trouble downloading links like these, find where it says "direct link," right click, and select "save page as…" to save it that way.
I am back again to say yet another thank you. The Ancient Faith podcast site looks wonderful. My husband and I are looking forward to delving into the archived shows on such a variety of subjects.
just go to itunes and search Ancient Faith Radio you can download one at a time or all at once. easy.
does anyone know why i can only get the last 36 podcasts? they don't work on the website and they don't show up on itunes either….
Only the last year of podcasts are on iTunes. Beyond that, you have to download them one at a time from the Ancient Faith site.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you this is awesome. I dont know where you find this stuff but I am so greatful you do and I am so glad you pass it on to others. Like how Boaz let Ruth glean in his fields I feel like that with your stuff we are gleaning of your wonderful finds. May the Lord bless you and shine his favor on your family for all these wonderful treasures. Blessings, Anne
Thank You! We are having such a hard time keeping up with this reading as a family…this will really help on those nights mom and dad are just too tired to read. :)
Thank you so much. We are going on our first plane ride this holiday and will enjoy listening to this on the way.
I love Ancient Faith Radio! I’m so glad you featured them on your site. They have so many beautiful podcasts (and music) to listen to- thanks for sharing this!
