Publisher's summary

The unabridged digital audio edition of The Silver Chair, book six in the classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia, narrated by acclaimed actor Jeremy Northam.

Narnia . . . where giants wreak havoc . . . where evil weaves a spell . . . where enchantment rules.

Through dangers untold and caverns deep and dark, a noble band of friends is sent to rescue a prince held captive. But their mission to Underland brings them face-to-face with an evil more beautiful and more deadly than they ever expected.

The Silver Chair is the sixth book in C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, a series that has become part of the canon of classic literature, drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over fifty years. This is a stand-alone novel, but if you want to discover what happens in the final days of Narnia, check out The Last Battle, the seventh and concluding book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

Don't miss any of the books in C.S. Lewis' classic Chronicles of Narnia series.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Our favorite audio book

What did you love best about The Silver Chair?

We've probably listened to about a dozen children's and young adult audio books (including the preceding Narnia ones, which were also great), and this is our favorite. The book is a children's classic no doubt, but the narrator Jeremy Northam does an extraordinary job of bringing all of the characters to life in a way that's interesting to both the children and adults listening to it.

Superb reading of one of the best Narnia books

I wish Jeremy Northam could have read all the books in this series. The Silver Chair is exciting and thoughtful with less of the rather forced political and social satire that afflicts some of the other Narnia books. I have listened to this recording many times without tiring of it.

superior narrator

deep, rich, incredible story. supposedly written for children, but if you listen to the themes, the subtle humor, and the spiritual richness in the story, it can be life-changing. and just a lot of fun.

Narration and story in perfect rhythm!

The narrator performance is just right for the natural rhythm of the story that bounces between serious adventure and children's story. I will try to mimick this performance when I read this to my kids!
