Trips to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil - what more could a reader want from a book? The book that has all this is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written in 1949 by Clive Staples Lewis. But Lewis didn't stop there. Six other books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia. Over the last fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a world where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world that has fascinated generations.
