The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

This new edition includes photos from the recent motion picture, along with journals and notes of the film makers.

Four English schoolchildren find their way through the back of a wardrobe into the magic land of Narnia and assist Aslan, the golden lion, to triumph over the White Witch, who has cursed the land with eternal winter.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe introduced readers to the wonders and enchantment of Narnia when it was first published almost fifty years ago. Since then the hearts and imaginations of millions of readers have been captured by the story of Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, who step through a magic wardrobe into Narnia, once the peaceful land of talking beasts, dwarfs, giants, and fauns, but now frozen into winter by the evil White Witch.

Step into the unforgettable world of Narnia with this beautifully detailed collector's edition. Includes 19 new plates by Pauline Baynes, the original illustrator of The Chronicles of Narnia.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was published in 1950, and it was the book that first introduced readers to the World of Narnia. Years later, in 1955, Lewis wrote a prequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, entitled The Magician's Nephew. While The Magician's Nephew was the sixth Narnia book to be written, many readers prefer to begin the series with The Magician's Nephew.
