For the first time, an edition of Lewis's classic fantasy fiction packaged specifically for adults. Complementing the look of the author's non-fiction books, and anticipating the forthcoming Narnia feature films, this edition contains an exclusive "P.S." section about the history of the book, plus a sample chapter from its sequel. Drawn back to Narnia, Eustace Scrubb and his new friend Jill Pole are sent to rescue a captive prince. In a world where evil weaves a spell, Giants and Marsh-wiggles can be friend or foe, but the stakes are raised when they reach Underland and come face-to-face with a notorious and terrifying opponent. On 9 December 2005, Andrew (Shrek) Adamson's live-action film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will be released by Disney, and it is already being hailed as the biggest film franchise of all time, guaranteed to appeal to adults and children across the globe. The second film is already in development. Sporting breathtaking new photographic covers, these new adult editions of the seven Chronicles of Narnia now give everyone an opportunity to experience the adventures in their original form. Re-live your childhood fantasies or discover for the first time what everyone will be talking about by Christmas and savour some of the best-loved stories ever written.

C.S.劉易斯：

劉易斯1898年2月生於北愛爾蘭首府貝爾法斯特的一個清教徒傢庭，律師之傢。童年時代生活平靜安逸，從小就喜歡躲在小閣樓上耽讀、幻想。9歲失去母親的經曆，直接影響瞭他筆下魔法世界的誕生。隨後他就被送往英格蘭一所嚴格的寄宿學校，從此逐漸遠離瞭父親。

他26歲登上牛津大學教席，人稱“最偉大的牛津人”。

他60歲遇到一生摯愛，卻在兩年後遭遇天人永隔之苦。

他1963年離開人世之前，就為十年後纔去世的摯友托爾金寫好瞭訃文。因為隻有寫齣瞭《納尼亞傳奇》的人，纔有資格說他真正瞭解《魔戒》的作者。

劉易斯一生著述甚豐，齣版過若乾關於英國中世紀及文藝復興時期文學的評論作品。

在學術研究方麵最重要的著作有《愛的寓言：中世紀傳統研究》《十六世紀英語文學》《個人的異端》等。

在宗教方麵有《痛苦問題》《純粹基督教信仰》等。

在文學創作上則有科幻小說“空間三部麯”（《沉寂的行星之外》《皮爾蘭德拉》和《駭人的力量》）與《納尼亞王國傳奇》。
