A stunning new hardback edition of this timeless classic. This is the best loved of all the Chronicles of Narnia - the first one ever written, and the book everybody remembers reading as a child.

"This is the land of Narnia," said the Faun, "where we are now. 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.

Lucy steps into the Professor's wardrobe - but steps out again into a snowy forest. She's stumbled upon the magical world of Narnia, a land of unicorns, centaurs, fauns... and the wicked White Witch, who terrorises all. Lucy soon realises that Narnia, and in particular Aslan, the great Lion, needs her help if the county's creatures are ever going to be free again...

Two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve are needed to break the spell and bring spring back to the land.
