For the first time, an edition of Lewis's classic fantasy fiction packaged specifically for adults. Complementing the look of the author's non-fiction books, and anticipating the forthcoming Narnia feature films, this edition contains an exclusive "P.S." section about the history of the book, plus a sample chapter from its sequel. In an epic continuation of the saga, Edmund and Lucy and their irksome cousin Eustace are returned to Narnia as their friend Caspian is about to chart a sea voyage to the end of the world. As their journey takes them into uncharted waters, the young heroes learn that pirates, dragons and monsters are not only real but very, very dangerous. On 9 December 2005, Andrew (Shrek) Adamson's live-action film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will be released by Disney, and it is already being hailed as the biggest film franchise of all time, guaranteed to appeal to adults and children across the globe. The second film is already in development. Sporting breathtaking new photographic covers, these new adult editions of the seven Chronicles of Narnia now give everyone an opportunity to experience the adventures in their original form. Re-live your childhood fantasies or discover for the first time what everyone will be talking about by Christmas and savour some of the best-loved stories ever written.

C.S.刘易斯：

刘易斯1898年2月生于北爱尔兰首府贝尔法斯特的一个清教徒家庭,律师之家。童年时代生活平静安逸,从小就喜欢躲在小阁楼上耽读、幻想。9岁失去母亲的经历,直接影响了他笔下魔法世界的诞生。随后他就被送往英格兰一所严格的寄宿学校,从此逐渐远离了父亲。

他26岁登上牛津大学教席,人称“最伟大的牛津人”。

他60岁遇到一生挚爱,却在两年后遭遇天人永隔之苦。

他1963年离开人世之前,就为十年后才去世的挚友托尔金写好了讣文。因为只有写出了《纳尼亚传奇》的人,才有资格说他真正了解《魔戒》的作者。

刘易斯一生著述甚丰,出版过若干关于英国中世纪及文艺复兴时期文学的评论作品。

在学术研究方面最重要的著作有《爱的寓言：中世纪传统研究》《十六世纪英语文学》《个人的异端》等。

在宗教方面有《痛苦问题》《纯粹基督教信仰》等。

在文学创作上则有科幻小说“空间三部曲”（《沉寂的行星之外》《皮尔兰德拉》和《骇人的力量》）与《纳尼亚王国传奇》。
