This handscome new edition will make a wonderful family keepsake to read aloud together. About the AuthorC. S. Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland, in 1898. As a child, he was fascinated by the fairy tales, myths, and ancient legends recounted to him by his Irish nurse. The image of a faun carrying parcels and an umbrella in a snowy wood came to him when he was sixteen. However, it was not until many years later, as a professor at Cambridge University, that the faun was joined by an evil Queen and a magnificent Lion. Their story became The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, one of the best-loved books of all time, and the first of the seven Chronicles of Narnia. With their remarkable combination of adventure, humor, fantasy, and allegory, The Chronicles of Narnia have become classics of children's literature the world over.
Pauline Baynes's illustrations of the Chronicles span a remarkable career, beginning with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in 1949. Almost fifty years later she returned to her original illustrations and added spectacular color, which can be enjoyed in this glorious edition.
