The Magician’s Nephew: The Chronicles of Narnia

The Magician’s Nephew is now repackaged in an unjacketed paper-over-board edition with black-and-white Pauline Baynes’ artwork in the interior and the iconic Chris Van Allsburg artwork on the cover.This large, deluxe hardcover edition of the first title in the classic Chronicles of Narnia series, The Magician’s Nephew, is a gorgeous introduction to the magical land of Narnia. The many readers who discovered C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles through The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will be delighted to find that the next volume in the series is actually the first in the sequence–and a step back in time. In this unforgettable story, British schoolchildren Polly and Digory inadvertently tumble into the Wood Between the Worlds, where they meet the evil Queen Jadis and, ultimately, the great, mysterious King Aslan. We witness the birth of Narnia and discover the legendary source of all the adventures that are to follow in the seven books that comprise the series.

Rich, heavy pages, a gold-embossed cover, and Pauline Baynes’s original illustrations (hand-colored by the illustrator herself 40 years later) make this special edition of a classic a bona fide treasure. (Ages 9 and older) –Emilie Coulter
