When Peter,Susan,Edmund and Lucy are sent to stay with a kind professor who lives in the country,they can hardly imagine the extraordinary adventure that awaits them. It all begins when the children explore the professor's rambling old house.When they come across a room with an old wardrobe in the corner,Lucy opens the door and gets inside it.To her amazement,she suddenly finds herself standing in a wood, with snow flakes falling through the air. Lucy has found Narnia,a magical land of fauns and centaurs,nymphs and talking animals - and the beautiful but evil White Witch,who has held the country in eternal winter for a hundred years.
'The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe' has enchanted readers for over sixty years and now will delight younger children as a picture book.With Christian Birmingham's illustrations providing an exquisite setting for the carefully abridged text,it is set to become a classic in its own right.A worthy addition to the 'Narnia' canon.
Christian Birmingham graduated in illustration from Exeter College of Art and Design in 1991,and is one of the most talented artists of his generation.His first picture book,'The Magical Bicycle' by Berlie Doherty,was shortlisted for the Kurt Maschler award.Other titles include 'The Sea of Tranquility','Oliver Twist','A Classic Christmas Treasury' and a stunning edition of 'The Night Before Christmas'.
