Book Description:
One of the most highly respected fantasy novels ever written, THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE can be seen as both an exciting children's adventure story and an allegory about faith.
The story begins when the Pevensie siblings (Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy) escape the dangers of World War II-era London by relocating to the country home of family friend Professor Kirke. One day, while playing hide-and-seek, Lucy hides in an old wardrobe and finds herself transported to the world of Narnia, a magical land frozen in eternal winter by the evil White Witch. With the help of her siblings, Lucy sets forth to free Narnia from the White Witch's reign by bringing about the return of Narnia's guardian, Aslan the lion, a quest impeded by a shocking betrayal.

More wonderful than the movie. My children just loved it! And I am more touched by the symbolism now than I was as a young reader :)

This is a fantabulous book that will get you hooked on the Narnia series by C.S. Lewis.

This is an excellent book, written by a fantastic author. What's cool about the Narnia books is that no matter what your age, you can enjoy his stories. :)

If you have never read the Tales of Narnia, no matter how old you are you should make this series your next reads. The books are great to read to your children, grandchildren, etc.
The spiritual aspect of the books is very sublimnal. When the children are then introduced to religious concepts they will already have a concept in mind. 5 stars are not enough.
I love this book. it is one of the very best books I have ever read!
Narnia...the land beyond the wadrobe, the secret country known only to Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy...the place where the adventure begins.
This book is the second in the series of The Chronicles of Narnia. Great reading for 5th grade and up. A character named Lucy finds a secret wardrobe in the professor's old house. At first, no one believes her but eventually they end of having too.
this is the book that was turned into a movie. the books are always better than the movies. A must read
Narnia the land beyond the wardrobe, the secret county known only to Peter, Susan , Edmund, and Lucy...the place where the adventure begins. Enter this world with them beyond wardrobe at the professor's mysterious old house.
It looked like a big old clothes closet.But it was really a magic wardrobe.
When Lucy tells her brothers and sister that she found a magic land inside the old wardrobe,they don't believe her.Then one afternoon,looking for a place to hide from the grown-ups,they all climb into the old wardrobe...In this first book of the Chronicles of Narnia,Peter,Edmund,Susan,and Lucy discoverthe land of Narnia and set out to break the spell of an evil witch.
I purchased this book used. A child wrote on the inside front cover. But other than that it\'s in good condition. 189 pages, small black and white illustrations for each chapter.
