Publisher's Summary

The Narnia Chronicles, first published in 1950, have been and remain some of the most enduringly popular children’s books ever published. The best known, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, has been translated into 29 languages!

“It’s a magic wardrobe. There’s a wood inside it, and it’s snowing! Come and see,” begged Lucy.

Lucy has stumbled upon a marvellous land of fauns and centaurs, nymphs and talking animals. But soon she discovers that it is ruled by the cruel White Witch, and can only be freed by Aslan, the great Lion, and four children…

This is the second adventure in the exciting Chronicles of Narnia.

Critic Reviews

“Forget Simba. There’s a new lion in the Magic Kingdom… Long before J.K. Rowling dreamed up Harry Potter, Lewis was busy with his seven book series.” E! Online

“Like the ‘Rings’ cycle… the seven Narnia books have a long and loyal following.” The Herald (U.K.)

“Narnia offers huge scope for a profitable film franchise… fantasy is currently the toast of Hollywood.” The Guardian (U.K.)

Always my favorite

I have loved this book since I was a kid, and continue to live it even to this day. C.S. Lewis always is and will be one of the kings of fantasy. Michael York's voice accompanies this narration so well.

One of the Best Books Ever

A best-ever family read-aloud, a beautiful allegory of The One True Story. Such beauty in the written words and in the performance.

Childhood Revisited!

I have loved this book (and series) for most of my life. Such a delight to listen to it. Oh, and Michael York narrating? Magical. I grew up very aware of this talented actor too. To combine them both was a brilliant decision. Such a distinct voice with such a distinct and memorable book. Thank you.
