How Aslan, the noble lion, freed Narnia from the spell of the White Witch.
Welcome to Narnia, a delightfully magical land where talking animals, fauns, dwarfs, centaurs, and friendly giants live in peace and harmony. But, because this is a fairy tale, life in Narnia is not all goodness...
When four English school children find their way into this mysterious other world, they are struck by a scene of dazzling snow--cold, silent, and forbidding. For a wicked White Witch has cursed the land with eternal winter. With the arrival of the children, the little creatures come out of hiding--it is rumored that the golden lion, Aslan, their wise and gracious ruler, is on his way to Narnia. The children's strange and unexpected adventures are climaxed in a glorious and fierce battle in which they aid the lion king in his triumph over the White Witch.
This is the first story for children by the distinguished English author, C. S. Lewis. Pauline Baynes' crisp line drawings beautifully capture the magic and mystery of Narnia.

Work Description
Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice.
Journey into the land beyond the wardrobe! The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the second book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has been captivating readers of all ages for over sixty years. This is a stand-alone novel, but if you would like journey back to Narnia, read The Horse and His Boy, the third book in The Chronicles of Narnia.
