They open a door and enter a world.

Narnia...the land beyond the wardrobe, the secret country known only to Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy...the place where the adventure begins.

Lucy is the first to find the secret of the wardrobe in the professor's mysterious old house. At first, no one believes her when she tells of her adventures in the land of Narnia.

But soon Edmund and then Peter and Susan discover the Magic and meet Aslan, the Great Lion, for themselves. In the blink of an eye, their lives are changed forever.

A fully illustrated version of the most popular book in The Chronicles of Narnia, with glowing full page artwork and an abridged text for easier reading.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5?Lawrie has successfully translated Lewis's introductory volume of the "Chronicles of Narnia" (HarperCollins) into a kind of elegant, Edwardian comic book. The 17 chapters of the original have been reduced to 7. Remarkably, this is a true abridgement of Lewis's writing, with his words, particularly the dialogue, faithfully preserved. Only the name of the great wolf who serves the wicked queen has been changed. Neatly framed speech balloons vie for space with hand-printed sections of descriptive paragraphs. The large, parchment-colored pages burst exuberantly with colorful drawings of the four children and the animals they meet beyond the wardrobe. Each one is framed with decorative columns, vines, borders, or flowering plants, appropriate to the adventures they enclose. Something is lost, of course, in the use of pictures on a page rather than mental pictures produced by reading the novel. But children who might never be drawn to the full-length book will certainly be attracted to this charming, action-filled version, and, as often happens, readers of the abridged story may well turn to the original to recapture their delight.?Shirley Wilton, Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) fue uno de los intelectuales más importantes del siglo veinte y podría decirse que fue el escritor cristiano más influyente de su tiempo. Fue profesor particular de literatura inglesa y miembro de la junta de gobierno en la Universidad Oxford hasta 1954, cuando fue nombrado profesor de literatura medieval y renacentista en la Universidad Cambridge, cargo que desempeñó hasta que se jubiló. Sus contribuciones a la crítica literaria, literatura infantil, literatura fantástica y teología popular le trajeron fama y aclamación a nivel internacional. C. S. Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año. Sus más distinguidas y populares obras incluyen Las Crónicas de Narnia, Los Cuatro Amores, Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino y Mero Cristianismo.



Pauline Baynes has produced hundreds of wonderful illustrations for the seven books in The Chronicles of Narnia. In 1968 she was awarded the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal for her outstanding contribution to children's literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Young Narnia fans will enjoy
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022
My 3 and 4.5 year old love Narnia-the movie, audiobook, and this graphic novel! Although it is definitely geared towards older kids and thus some of the story is over their heads, I know they will be able to enjoy it for a long time.
Really does hit do a good job honoring the original and hitting the major plot points. The illustrations are sweet as well. Too long to read aloud in one sitting(especially with lots of interruptions and questions), but definitely in a couple sittings!

I did NOT receive what I ordered! I ordered the book shown in the picture!!! I received a hard back edition by McMillan Co.
I want what I ordered! AND this was my second order of the same book because the first copy which was the correct copy was
missing 20 pages. Amazon is nearly impossible to contact to reconcile these types of problems with. The site is not intuitive
for contacting them. AND I think amazon service is going downhill. I have been a very loyal and regular amazon user for years,
but things are not what they used to be.

The actual book I want IF I can get the right one without missing pages is amazing and the children I am reading to love it!
My criticism is with whoever sent me the wrong version of the book I want and w/amazon who are impossible to talk with.

There were pictures in parts of this that were too scary for my 8 year old grandson. But it would be good for kids a bit older.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, great message
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2009
Displaced by WWII, 4 young siblings are sent to stay at the house of an old professor's house to stay safe from air raids. Shortly into their stay, they discover a magical wardrobe that is a door into another world: Narnia. In Narnia, they help Aslan, a beautiful golden lion, defeat an evil witch that has taken over the land and conjured up an eternal winter.

"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is a great children's story, but it is even more than that. In this allegorical tale, C.S. Lewis symbolized the Bible and the story of Jesus Christ. He masterfully intertwined a fun child's fantasy with with a much more meaningful story, making this a great read for children and adults alike. Lewis' stories of a mystical land have enthralled children for decades, and they still do today. This, along with the rest of the series, is a great read that is not only fun, but has a spiritual aspect that is a plus for older readers. It is definitely a must-read for all age groups.
