The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Sent away from wartime London to a rambling old country house, the four Pevensie children — Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy — stumble upon an extraordinary secret. At the back of an unused wardrobe, the coats give way to snow-laden fir trees, and the children step into Narnia: a land of talking beasts and fauns, held in endless winter by the cruel White Witch.
Narnia is waiting for a prophecy to be fulfilled, and for the return of Aslan, the great lion who is its true king. As the children are drawn deeper into the country's fate, one of them is tempted into betrayal, and Aslan must make a terrible choice to set things right. What follows is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the thaw that finally breaks a long, cruel winter.
The first-published of C. S. Lewis's beloved Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has enchanted readers since 1950 — a timeless children's fantasy woven through with wonder, adventure, and quiet moral weight.
