ABOUT THIS BOOK

As World War II intensifies, Lucy Pevensie and her siblings are sent to live in an enormous countryside mansion. While exploring, they come across an ornate wardrobe which transports them to Narnia—a land where it’s always winter without Christmas, and the White Witch rules with an iron fist. But when Lucy’s new friend from Narnia lands in danger, the Pevensies find themselves on an exciting journey to save the day with the help of Aslan, the King of Beasts. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the timeless classic that introduced young readers to the adventures of C.S. Lewis’s beloved series, The Chronicles of Narnia.
