Fire breathing dragons, sprightly nymphs, talking animals, evil witches, deadly sea monsters, gruesome giants, kings and queens, a group of brave children and a very special wardrobe collide in an epic battle of good versus evil. Welcome to the enhanced world of Narnia, a mystical land sprung from the mind of legendary author C.S. Lewis. Danger and adventure are always close at hand in Narnia, for the future is under constant threat by dark forces. But not for long. Whispers that sail across the land say only one thing--Aslan, the great lion, is on the move in THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, PRINCE CASPIAN AND THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TRADER and THE SILVER CHAIR.
THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE: Lucy, Peter, Susan and Edmund are magically transported to the enchanted world of Narnia through an old wardrobe in a countryside estate. In Narnia the children discover giants, talking fawns and beavers, and worst of all, the evil White Witch who has turned the animals to stone and placed permanent winter all over the land! Adam, the Great Lion, will lead the children in a battle with the evil witch and her followers. But the witch has plans of her own. PRINCE CASPIAN AND THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TRADER: Prince Caspian calls Lucy, Edmund, Peter and Susan back to the magical land of Narnia in his most harrowing time of need. Led by Aslan, the children help young Caspian to defeat the corrupt King Miraz, and restore Narnia to its full glory. Years later, Lucy and Edmund are sent back to Narnia, along with their insufferable cousin Eustace, for yet another perilous journey. This time the children assist Caspian on voyage to rescue six lords of Narnia banished under Miraz's reign. Along their journey the children battle dragons and sea serpents, and sail across a golden lake to reach the edge of the world. THE SILVER CHAIR: On the run from bullies at school, Eustace and his friend Jill suddenly find themselves in the enchanted land of Narnia. Prince Rilian, son of the old and frail King Caspian, has disappeared mysteriously and Eustace and Jill are called upon to help. Asian, the Great Lion King, sends the children on a quest through treacherous lands of witches and giants to locate Prince Rilian, heir to the Narnia throne, and bring him home. The Emerald Witch who rules the underworld will ensure that this is no easy feat.
