The book is in Near Fine condition, marred only by extremely mild dampstaining to top upper-outer edges. This book was the basis for the 2005 film "Narnia." A FIRST EDITION, first printing from 2004, this hardcover book has brilliantly colorful blue decorative paper over boards with a wintry design that matches that on the accompanying DJ. Lewis' beloved tale is retold here by Hiawyn Oram in a version for younger children, brought to life with new illustrations by Tudor Humphries. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Soon, though, Peter, Edmund and Susan find Narnia too and the adventures really begin.Together they must battle against the evil White Witch to break her cruel grip on Narnia, a land she has cast in perpetual winter, without Christmas. Lewis must have felt in creating this enchanted world is conjured up once again in this thrilling dramatisation of one of the best stories ever told. Only one thing can hold fast against such wickedness: the mighty Aslan. It is so extraordinary that at first her brothers and sister don't believe it can be real. But then she tumbles headlong into a magical world of fauns, dwarves and giants, of animals that talk and horses that fly - the land of Narnia. When Lucy comes across the old wardrobe standing alone in the spare room, she thinks she has found a good place for hide and seek.
