Journeys
to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and
evil -- what more could any reader ask for in one book? The book that has it
all is the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, written in 1949 by C. S. Lewis. But
Lewis did not stop there. Six more books followed, and together they became
known as The Chronicles of Narnia.
For the
past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre
to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a
masterpiece, drawing the reader into a world where magic meets reality, and the
result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations.
This edition presents all seven books -- unabridged -- in one impressive
volume. The books are presented here according to Lewis's preferred order, each
chapter graced with an illustration by the original artist, Pauline Baynes. This edition also contains C. S. Lewis's essay
"On Three Ways of Writing for Children," in which he explains
precisely how the magic of Narnia and the realm of fantasy appeal not only to
children but to discerning readers of all ages. Deceptively simple and direct, The
Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures,
characters, and truths that speak to all readers, even fifty years after the
books were first published.
