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 a timeless classic that introduced young readers to the adventures of
C.S. Lewis’s beloved series, The Chronicles of Narnia.
