"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" is the first book in the series. It was the first of the seven to be written; in fact, Lewis never intended at the time to write a single sequel, let alone six. However, many younger readers mistakenly think that "The Magician's Nephew" (actually Book 6) is the first book in the series because if the books are read in Narnia's chronological order (i.e., Y happened before X, even though X was written first), "The Magician's Nephew" is read first because it is the story of Narnia's creation. New publications of the books are numbered in this order instead of the order Lewis wrote them in; however, some readers argue that this spoils the mystery and effect of the story's various revelations, especially as regards "The Magician's Nephew"

What's it about?
C.S. Lewis' timeless adventure THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE follows the exploits of the four Pevensie siblings -- Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter -- in World War II England who enter the world of Narnia through a magical wardrobe while playing a game of 'hide-and-seek' in the rural country home of an elderly professor. Once there, the children discover a charming, peaceful land inhabited by talking beasts, dwarfs, fauns, centaurs and giants that has become a world cursed to eternal winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis. Under the guidance of a noble and mystical ruler, the lion Aslan, the children fight to overcome the White Witch's powerful hold over Narnia in a spectacular, climactic battle that will free Narnia from Jadis' icy spell forever.
