New & Classic
Illustrator: Pauline Baynes
Now celebrating its 75th Anniversary, this hardcover edition features the original jacket art and all the many black-and-white illustrations by Pauline Baynes plus the color plate frontispiece that was never before published in the US until this edition! Now you and your young readers can experience the book that started it all exactly as children did in 1950, when C. S. Lewis introduced the world to Narnia and its unforgettable characters. Seventy-five years later, readers of all ages are still enchanted by this magical series.
Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy — step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter (but never Christmas!) and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But there are rumors of the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, and the four children have a long-prophesized role to play. Adventures, danger, and thrills await!
