4-6Chronicles of Narnia series.
Illustrated by
Pauline Baynes.
These storybook editions of Lewis's classic fantasy novels include the complete texts and Baynes's own colorized versions of her original line drawings (some of which are hard to make out). Looking for gift ideas? Give these books in their original format. The larger size and color, while fine, aren't necessary. [Review covers these Chronicles of Narnia titles: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and The Magician's Nephew.]
