Four adventurers step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia--a land 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.
There are a thousand stories in the land of Narnia, and the first is about to be told in an extraordinary motion picture, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, from Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media. This is the companion book to that movie. Here is a bold and striking contemporary new look for this classic series, designed especially for adult readers! Fifty years ago, C. S. Lewis created a land of wonder and enchantment in The Chronicles of Narnia. Since its first appearance, more than eighty-five million readers worldwide have come to love this definitive fantasy series. Now all seven perennially popular books are available in a brand-new adult trade paperback format. The story describes the never-ending war between good and evil. Narnia is a land frozen in eternal winter; a country waiting to be set free. Four adventurers step through a wardrobe door and into a land 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.
Initially when Lewis turned to writing children's books, his publisher and some of his friends tried to dissuade him; they thought it would hurt his reputation as writer of serious works. J.R.R. Tolkien in particular criticized Lewis's first Narnia book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He thought that there were too many elements that clashed—a Father Christmas and an evil witch, talking animals and children. Thankfully, Lewis didn't listen to any of them.
Following the publication of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 1950, Lewis quickly wrote 6 more Narnia books, publishing the final one, The Last Battle, in 1956. Although they were not well received at first by critics and reviewers, the books gained in popularity through word of mouth. The Narnia books have since sold more than 100 million copies and are among the most beloved books of classic children's literature.

##It’ll happen when you’re not looking for it.
##絮絮叨叨 太低龄了。 小孩子大概也没有耐心看
##……所以这一个系列都是充满了圣经故事的隐喻是吗,第一本完全就是创世纪即视感,这一本仍旧是前一半探险+魔幻,后一半从圣诞开始,Aslan替人受难又复活的情节就…看电影时从没想过这一层,书里倒是写的非常明显了。
##正义战胜邪恶,狮子战胜女巫,blahblah。。。-___-
##bravo! beautifully written

##看完书之后才发现电影是介个样子的哦!书中的旁白如同导游一样将人物的心理描写若有若无地吹入你的耳中,直达内心。电影里对特定情节做出的改编是为了让视觉效果更明显、剧情更紧凑。Excellent~
