Disclaimer
The Chronicles of Narnia, C. S. Lewis’s seven-part fantasy masterpiece, has been transporting young readers to the land of Narnia for over 50 years. Complete with the series’ original illustrations by Pauline Baynes, this HarperCollins hardcover edition is a wonderful way of introducing these beloved sagas to a younger generation.
An academic, poet, and lay-theologian (among other things), Lewis’s use of religious themes intertwined with classic mythology and fairy tales has made the series popular with adults as well as children, much like Lewis’s good friend, J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Juniper Books’ custom jackets feature an original painting by the artist Detour (Thomas Evans) of a lion, inspired by the series' main character, who is said to have created the land of Narnia and is the only character to appear in all 7 volumes.
This series is ideal for readers between the ages of 8-12.

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) fue uno de los intelectuales más importantes del siglo veinte y podría decirse que fue el escritor cristiano más influyente de su tiempo. Fue profesor particular de literatura inglesa y miembro de la junta de gobierno en la Universidad Oxford hasta 1954, cuando fue nombrado profesor de literatura medieval y renacentista en la Universidad Cambridge, cargo que desempeñó hasta que se jubiló. Sus contribuciones a la crítica literaria, literatura infantil, literatura fantástica y teología popular le trajeron fama y aclamación a nivel internacional. C. S. Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año. Sus más distinguidas y populares obras incluyen Las Crónicas de Narnia, Los Cuatro Amores, Cartas del Diablo a Su Sobrino y Mero Cristianismo.
Pauline Baynes has produced hundreds of wonderful illustrations for the seven books in The Chronicles of Narnia. In 1968 she was awarded the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal for her outstanding contribution to children's literature.
