The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe
"This is the land of Narnia," said the Faun, "where we are now; all
that lies between the lamp-post and the great castle of Cair Paravel on
the eastern sea. And you-you have come from the wild woods of the west?"
"I-I got in through the wardrobe in the spare room," said Lucy.
What begins as a simple game of hide-and-seek turns into the adventure
of a lifetime when Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy walk through he wardrobe
and into the land of Narnia. There they find a cold, snow-covered land
frozen into eternal winter by the evil White Witch. All who challenge her
rule are turned into stone. Narnia, once filled with all manner of Talking
Beasts, Dwarfs, Giants, and Fauns is now a dark, joyless wasteland.
The children can only hope Aslan, the Great
Lion, will return to Narnia and restore beauty and peace to the land. But
will the power of Aslan be enough to conquer the dark magic of the White
Witch?
Now considered a classic, The Lion, the Witch,
and the Wardrobe is C.S. Lewis' second book in The Chronicles of Narnia,
which has captured the imaginations of children for several generations.
