Narnia:
a world made by magic from the start of time,
full of marvelous creatures, talking beasts,
and trees that sometimes get up and dance.

And now the door to this magical world is opened to much younger children, with an exciting retelling specially created to introduce C. S. Lewis's enchanting land. Join Peter, Susan, Edmund, and the adventurous Lucy as they step through the wardrobe and meet the noble lion, Aslan, the fearsome White Witch, and of course the lovable Mr. Tumnus.

The inspiration for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe first came to C. S. Lewis when he was sixteen. The book began with a picture in his head of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. He waited until he was nearly fifty before writing the story and followed this with six other Chronicles of Narnia. the lion, the witch and the wardrobe has become one of the finest classics in children's literature, and with this superbly illustrated retelling, younger children can now step into the magic of Narnia.

    I won this on the wishlist forum from Chas04 as a RABCK offer. Clearing his bookshelves as moving. Perfect timing as recently watched the film The Chronicles of Narnia and my husband expressed an interest in the book never having read it as a child. As this arrived today I can give it to him as a surprise Valentines Day present!! Thanks very much Chas04.

    My husband has now read and enjoyed this title. I am still surprised he missed out on the Chronicles of Narnia in his childhood!

  • The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

    This story is fabulous in its comparison of the characters with Jesus, the devil, etc. If one knows the Bible, you can see it throughout the entire book while you are reading.

    The book has been rewritten as a film before. The book and the film are surely not exactly the same but they still can keep the plot of the story.
