The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a classic fantasy novel by C. S. Lewis and the first published book in The Chronicles of Narnia series. The story follows four siblings — Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie — who are sent away from wartime England and discover the magical land of Narnia through an ordinary wardrobe. Narnia is ruled by the White Witch, who has cast the land into an endless winter, and the children soon become involved in a struggle between good and evil alongside the great lion Aslan. Through adventure, danger, and moral choices, the novel explores themes of courage, betrayal, forgiveness, and sacrifice, creating a richly imagined world that has remained influential in children’s fantasy literature for generations.
