The Last Battle

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the seventh and final adventure in C.S. Lewis' magical 'Narnia' series.

Many Narnian years have passed since Eustace and Jill helped ensure the Royal line. But when they are jerked back violently into this strangest of lands they find the present King in danger and Narnia facing its darkest hour. With a stupid and gullible donkey posing as Aslan and the devious ape, Shift, in charge, confused talking beasts and dwarves are allowing themselves to be sold into slavery in neighbouring Calormen. The once peaceful world of Narnia is moving towards destruction, until Eustace and Jill join forces with King Tirian and the noble unicorn Jewel to help the remaining loyal subjects stand fast against the powers of evil and darkness.

Together they must fight The Last Battle and decide the future of this once glorious kingdom. The concluding adventure in this amazing series moves heart-stoppingly from disaster to triumph as the forces for good make their final stand against evil.

Reviews

This radio dramatisation is a wonderful evocation of a Britain which is long gone

—— Birmingham Evening Mail

Summers and Swan tell us much that is new, and with panache. Compelling ...sterling work

—— Sunday Times

Astonishing book...uncovers new evidence

—— Daily Express

A definitive, generational work

—— Vanity Fair

First-rate reporting...dense and intimate

—— People

Anthony Summers never writes a book that fails to offer accurate material you will find nowhere else...No surprise then that Sinatra: The Life is one of the very few, bona fide, three-dimensional portraits of an amazingly complex, interesting and sometimes god-awful guy

—— Norman Mailer

Often books about jazz musicians make the mistake of over-focusing on the music. Blackburn is more interested in Billie as a person

—— Mike Figgis , Guardian

This is a really marvellous book, the most uninhibitedly intimate portrayal ever of the short, hard life and overall musical triumph of Lady Day...With Billie vividly reflects the chaos that Billie Holiday was born into and only rarely escaped from
