Fifty years ago, a book about four children, a magical wardrobe, an enchanted land, an evil witch, and a kingly lion was published, and the genre of children’s fantasy was changed forever. Since then, C. S. Lewis’s first and best-loved book about Narnia has been read and cherished by millions of children and adults. In 1997, HarperCollins proudly published this classic book in a beautifully detailed collector’s edition with nineteen stunning full-color plates by Pauline Baynes, the original illustrator of the seven books of The Chronicles of Narnia, and details such as a satin ribbon marker and gold foil stamping. Now newly repackaged with all the original art in full color, this deluxe edition of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a must-have for anyone who wants to step into the unforgettable world of Narnia time and time again.
