The Narnia Chronicles, first published in 1950, have been and
remain some of the most enduringly popular books ever published.
The best known, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, has been
translated into 29 languages!All the Chronicles are bound together
here in one magnificent volume, with a special introduction by C.S.
Lewis''s stepson, Douglas Gresham. The original illustrations,
always first-class, have been rendered outstanding by the
wonderfully detailed addition of colour.

was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and
arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a
Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until
1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and
Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held
until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him
to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract
thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and
popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the
Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the
universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To
date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and been
transformed into three major motion pictures.
