Description: How Aslan, the noble lion, freed Narnia from the spell of the White Witch.

Welcome to Narnia, a delightfully magical land where talking animals, fauns, dwarfs, centaurs, and friendly giants live in peace and harmony. But, because this is a fairy tale, life in Narnia is not all goodness...

When four English school children find their way into this mysterious other world, they are struck by a scene of dazzling snow--cold, silent, and forbidding. For a wicked White Witch has cursed the land with eternal winter. With the arrival of the children, the little creatures come out of hiding--it is rumored that the golden lion, Aslan, their wise and gracious ruler, is on his way to Narnia. The children's strange and unexpected adventures are climaxed in a glorious and fierce battle in which they aid the lion king in his triumph over the White Witch.

This is the first story for children by the distinguished English author, C. S. Lewis. Pauline Baynes' crisp line drawings beautifully capture the magic and mystery of Narnia.
