A beautiful hardcover edition of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, book two in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia. The full-color jacket features art by three time Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator David Wiesner, and interior black-and-white illustrations by Pauline Baynes, the original illustrator of Narnia.

Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice.

Journey into the land beyond the wardrobe! The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the second book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has been captivating readers of all ages for over sixty years. This is a stand-alone novel, but if you would like journey back to Narnia, read The Horse and His Boy, the third book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

Supports the Common Core State Standards.

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》。
