“I hope no one who reads this book has been quite as miserable as Susan and Lucy were that night; but if you have been – if you’ve been up all night and cried till you have no more tears left in you – you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness. You feel as if nothing is ever going to happen again.”

― C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

 

A rare first American printing of C.S. Lewis’s most iconic work – ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” It was the first book, and still the best-known, of the “Chronicles of Narnia” series, all of which were illustrated by Pauline Baynes. 

 

According to TIME Magazine, this story is considered one of the ‘All-Time 100 Novels,” and is widely read even to this day.
