Clive Staples Lewis, born in 1898, wrote many books for adults but the Narnia stories were his only works for children. The final title, The Last Battle, published in 1956, won the Carnegie Award, the highest mark of excellence in children's literature.
This is the lavish hardback edition of all seven Narnia books, presented beautifully with new colour illustrations to celebrate the 50th anniversary of perhaps the favourite of all, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. This is a wonderful volume from which to read aloud to children who have for generations been bewitched by these magical tales. (Kirkus UK)
