The Chronicles of Narnia Boxed Set (Collier/Macmillan Paperback)

This is a vintage trade paperback boxed set of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' by C.S. Lewis, issued by Collier Books (an imprint of Macmillan) around the 1970s or early 1980s. The set is housed in a printed cardboard slipcase featuring orange and yellow themed fantasy cover art of knights in combat. The spines of the books are white with a blue and black text layout characteristic of this specific publishing era. Notably, the set appears to be incomplete or mixed, as the seventh book visible on the far right is 'The Black Cauldron' by Lloyd Alexander, which is from a different fantasy series ('The Chronicles of Prydain'), despite being housed in the Narnia slipcase. The physical condition is heavily used; the slipcase shows significant corner bumping, edge wear, tearing at the top seams, and general yellowing of the paperboard. The individual paperback spines exhibit creasing, sun-fading, and rubbing, common for mass-market editions of this age. The set includes titles such as 'Prince Caspian', 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader', and 'The Silver Chair'. The craftsmanship is typical for budget-friendly mass production, using glued bindings and standard pulp paper.
