"If there's a natural successor to LOTR, then it's Andrew Adamson's first instalment in The Chronicles of Narnia saga. The long-awaited literary adaptation of C.S. Lewis's The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe will likewise make use of New Zealand's deep forests, snow-dusted mountains and craggy volcanic cliffs to replicate Narnia's magical landscape." Empire Magazine "The magic of C.S. Lewis's parallel universe never fades." The Times "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness." C S Lewis

Clive Staples Lewis, born in 1898, wrote many books for adults, though the science fiction Cosmic Trilogy and the Narnia septet were his only works of fiction. The final title, The Last Battle, published in 1956, won the Carnegie Award, the highest mark of excellence in children's literature.
