Description: C.S. Lewis. THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. Deluxe Edition. New York: Macmillan Publishing Company, 1983. Illustrated by Michael Hague and signed by him on a card affixed to the half-title page. 9¼” x 7¼”, viii + 183-page hardcover in fine condition, unmarked, with bright text block and strong, tight hinges, in unclipped dust jacket in very good condition with scant shelf-wear, conserved in an acid-free, archival quality clear protective jacket. The text is designed in an easy-to-read and well-spaced format. When four children walk through a coat-filled wardrobe in England, they find the land of Narnia, a magical place filled with fantastic creatures and talking animals. An evil witch, who has imprisoned Narnia in ice and snow, deceives and captures one of the children. His brother and sisters must seek help from the great lion Aslan, Narnia’s creator and rightful ruler, to release Narnia and rescue their brother Edmund. But the witch invokes the ancient “deep magic,” and Aslan offers himself as a sacrifice in place of Edmund. This title is the first-written and first-published volume in Lewis's immensely popular series The Chronicles of Narnia. BONUS In 1998 the Royal Mail Service of the United Kingdom issued special postage stamps to honor The Chronicles of Narnia series and its author, C.S. Lewis, on the centenary of his birth. Enclosed as a special bookmark with this volume is a First Day Cover envelope with those stamps attached, postmarked in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the place where Lewis was born.
