C. S. Lewis
About this listen
A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the second adventure in C. S. Lewis' classic Narnia series.
When Lucy comes across the old wardrobe standing alone in the spare room, she thinks she has found a good place for hide and seek. But then she tumbles headlong into a magical world of fauns, dwarves, and giants, of animals that talk and horses that fly – the land of Narnia.
It is so extraordinary that at first her brothers and sister don't believe it can be real. Soon, though, Peter, Edmund and Susan find Narnia too and the adventures really begin. Together they must battle against an evil White Witch to break her cruel grip on Narnia, a land she has cast in perpetual winter, without Christmas. Only one thing can hold fast against such wickedness: the mighty Aslan.
The excitement which C. S. Lewis must have felt in creating this enchanted world is conjured up once again in this thrilling dramatisation of one of the best stories ever told.
Starring Maurice Denham as the Professor, Camilla Power as Lucy, Henry Power as Edmund, Neil Jeffrey as Peter, Abigail Docherty as Susan, Rosemary Martin as Jadis and Stephen Thorne as Aslan.
Written by C. S. Lewis
Dramatised by Brian Sibley
Produced by Geoffrey Marshall-Taylor

Perfect way to kill a car journey!
What made the experience of listening to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe the most enjoyable?
I think most of us know this story from our own childhoods, but this is a great way to share it with the kids.
Any additional comments?
Mine (aged 5 and 8) loved it from start to finish, which is strange as they hadn't wanted to read it from the bookshelf, but were more than happy to listen and enjoy it in the car. The little one did cry over Aslan,but enjoyed it nonetheless.

A childhood favorite...
...which stands the test of time.
I appreciate the Christian allegory even more. This is perhaps the 5th or 6th time I’ve read or listened to this book.
This dramatic production by the BBC is excellent, but is not a substitution for reading the book. CS Lewis’ prose is lovely to read and fills in many details.
