Before they know it, Lucy Pevensie and her siblings have traveled through a dusty old wardrobe and entered the magical land of Narnia.

With help from the kind creatures of Narnia, the Pevensies seek out Aslan, the mysterious Great Lion, who is their only hope in the struggle against the White Witch. With this photo-packed retelling of the movie, you too can travel through the wardrobe and visit the magical land of Narnia.
