Their battles with the white witch are legendary. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy discover Narnia through the back of a wardrobe. The most well known of the Narnian chronicles. In doing so they discover the beginning of Narnia, and so start off the tales. Young Polly and Diggory are swept up in the experiments of a magician attempting to find other worlds. "By gum," said Digory, "don't I just wish I was big enough to punch your head!" But if you can look past these small details, Narnia is a truly magical place, the stories iconic, I will never forget them. Sure they've got the allegorical Christian background, and some of Lewis' wording and phrases wouldn't pass as politically correct now. I love Narnia! Of course it's not perfect, but they are such wonderful stories, paving the way for so many other fantasy worlds that followed. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to readers of all ages, even fifty years after they were first published. The books are presented here in chronlogical order, each chapter graced with an illustration by the original artist, Pauline Baynes.
This edition presents all seven books-unabridged-in one impressive volume.
Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a land where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations. Six more books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia.įor the past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil-what more could any reader ask for in one book? The book that has it all is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written in 1949 by Clive Staples Lewis. Librarian note: An alternate cover for this edition can be found here: 2005.
