The Chronicles of Narnia stands as a timeless masterpiece, a fantasy series cherished by generations. Since its debut in 1950, over 100 million copies have been sold, leading to a vast array of print editions. However, a brand-new collector’s edition has emerged as a truly remarkable and surprisingly affordable option. To commemorate C.S. Lewis’s classic 75th anniversary, HarperCollins has crafted an eye-catching hardcover omnibus, making it a perfect gift for any fan. This Deluxe Edition is currently available at a special introductory price.
In addition to this new omnibus, several other magnificent box set editions have been released for Narnia’s 75th Anniversary. One notable option is the Deluxe Hardcover Box Set, also available at a significantly reduced price. Another fantastic choice for collectors is the Full-Color Collector’s Edition.
The 75th Anniversary Deluxe Edition itself is a visual treat. It features the majestic Aslan, King of Narnia, on a metallic dust jacket with captivating shimmering effects. The book’s red cover boasts elegant foil-stamped gold accents and the iconic wardrobe portal. Even the custom red page edges are thoughtfully designed, displaying an emblem representing each of the seven books in the series. Inside, readers will discover new, fully illustrated color maps of Narnia and its surrounding regions.
This omnibus edition, like previous versions, collects all seven novels into a single volume, totaling 768 pages. It measures approximately 6.3 x 2.1 x 9.1 inches. For those who prefer a more portable option, a standard paperback omnibus is still in print and offers excellent value. However, readers should note that the typeface in the paperback version can be quite small, so it’s advisable to preview it if possible.
The omnibus includes all seven beloved novels in chronological order:
- The Magician’s Nephew
- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
- The Horse and His Boy
- Prince Caspian
- The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
- The Silver Chair
- The Last Battle
Alternatively, the Deluxe Hardcover Box Set presents another wonderful way to own the series. This set comes encased in a vibrant slipcase, also adorned with artwork of Aslan. This hardcover set, initially priced higher upon its July launch, is now at an unprecedented low price, making it an excellent time to purchase.
While this set doesn’t feature the metallic cover or decorative page edges of the omnibus, it’s often a preferred choice for younger readers or anyone concerned about the small typeface in the single-volume omnibus. The individual hardcover editions in this box set offer similarly sized pages (6 x 9 inches) but collectively span 1,668 pages—more than double the omnibus’s length. This allows for larger, more comfortable fonts, as can be seen when comparing sample pages.
HarperCollins has also released a paperback version of this new box set, as well as a Full-Color Collector’s Edition (launched in May) featuring alternate covers and vibrant colored illustrations throughout the series. For ultimate portability, a mass market pocket-sized paperback box set is also available.

- Deluxe Hardcover Box Set: Currently at a special low price.
