This is the 50th anniversary edition of Tolkien's best-loved short fairy story, originally told to his children in the 1920s and expanded for publication in 1949. Bluff Farmer Giles lives in a land-of-fable England, full of giants and dragons. A reluctant hero like the Brave Little Tailor or Bilbo in The Hobbit , Giles wins a great reputation by firing his blunderbuss at a wandering giant--who retreats not in fear but to avoid this tiresome stinging "insect". One thing leads to another, and despite all his excuses the now famous Giles is called to save his country from the marauding dragon Chrysophylax. He has a legendary anti-dragon sword and a lot of luck, but dragons can be as devious as politicians... Tolkien crammed much sly wit into his little story, plus jokey philological explanations that Giles's amazing adventures are commemorated in Thames Valley placenames like Worminghall and Thame. It's illustrated with nearly 50 line drawings by Paula Baynes: Tolkien loved these, but some look sadly faded here, like fourth-generation photocopies. As a bonus, the anniversary edition includes an introduction telling the story's history, a transcription of the original, unfinished draft, and 23 pages of notes on allusions and names (Chrysophylax means "keeper of gold", which is indeed what dragons do). A pleasant gift book. -- David Langford

Bilbo’s Last Song is considered by many to be Tolkien’s epilogue to his classic work The Lord of the Rings. As Bilbo Baggins takes his final voyage to the Undying Lands, he must say goodbye to Middle-earth. Poignant and lyrical, the song is both a longing to set forth on his ultimate journey and a tender farewell to friends left behind.Pauline Baynes’s jewel-like illustrations lushly depict both this final voyage and scenes from The Hobbit, as Bilbo remembers his first journey while he prepares for his last.

From the seed of a silver apple came the wardrobe. Through the wardrobe came four children. To these children came a special magic. With that magic came seven unforgettable stories.

Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures and epic battles between good and evil—what more could any reader ask for in one book? The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe , written in 1949 by C. S. Lewis, has it all. But Lewis did not stop there. Six more books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia . For over fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a land where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations. Perfect for gift-giving or to add to your own collection, the signature edition presents all seven books—unabridged—in one magnificent volume. A lavishly illustrated collectible full-color map by the original artist for the series, Pauline Baynes, is included inside. This edition also contains excerpts from Beyond the Wardrobe , the official, indispensable guide to the classic fantasy series and its creator. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters and truths that speak to all readers, even more than fifty years after the books were first published.

Tutti i personaggi incontrati nel ciclo di Narnia vengono alla ribalta per salutare: il Professore, zia Polly, Edmund, Peter, Lucy, gli gnomi, il topo Ricipì, l'aquila Alidifuoco, l'unicorno Diamante. Ma i veri eroi di questo "gran finale" sono Tirian, l'ultimo discendente dei re di Narnia, e i due bambini Eustachio Scrubb e Jill Pole, che devono smascherare un assurdo impostore. Infatti lo scimmione Shift ha travestito da leone l'asino Puzzle, cercando di farlo passare per il leggendario Aslan e qualcuno ci ha creduto. E adesso le forze del bene e del male si preparano all'ultima battaglia.

Terra 1940 - Narnia 1014 "Come vorrei che potessi parlare, amico mio." Shasta non poteva immaginare che rivolgendosi così a un cavallo, ne avrebbe avuto risposta.

Comincia così un viaggio fitto di insidie, avventure e nuovi amici, che sarà per loro una prova di cuore, coraggio e saggezza.

TERRA 1940 - NARNIA 1000 C'è la guerra, e per Peter, Susan, Edmund e Lucy è meglio rifugiarsi in campagna. Nella grande casa che li ospita scoprono un immenso armadio che sembra fatto apposta per nascondercisi: in realtà è una porta per entrare in un altro mondo, dove gli animali parlano e nessun incantesimo è impossibile. Ma una strega malvagia ha cancellato le stagioni, mutando il felice regno di Narnia in una landa desolata. Per fortuna c'è qualcuno che può rimettere le cose a posto...

Dalla fantasia di un ex bambino appassionato di miti e leggende, dall'immensa cultura di un noto medievalista nacquero i sette romanzi fantastici dedicati a Narnia, il capolavoro di C.S. Lewis. Celebri nel mondo anglosassone come i più importanti classici moderni per ragazzi, 'Il nipote del mago', 'Il leone, la strega e l'armadio', 'Un ragazzo e il suo cavallo', 'Il principe Caspian', 'Il viaggio del veliero', 'La sedia d'argento' e 'L'ultima battaglia' vengono presentati in un unico volume, per riscoprire l'opera di un autore che in Inghilterra è considerato uno dei più grandi scrittori del ventesimo secolo. Tra pagine ricche di fascino e magia si schiude un mondo di fate, streghe, unicorni, draghi, lupi mannari, scimmie usurpatrici, asini travestiti da leoni e cavalli parlanti, in un'incantevole favola per bambini che ha lo spessore del grande romanzo per adulti, intessuto di significati simbolici e religiosi. Perché, come sosteneva Lewis, 'un libro non merita di essere letto a dieci anni se non merita di essere letto anche a cinquanta'.

La battaglia è aperta...

Sotto il pavimento di una vecchia villa vivono gli Sgraffignoli, esseri non più alti di un mignolo che passano la loro vita "sgraffignolando" o, come dicono loro, "prendendo in prestito" gli oggetti e il cibo necessari all'esistenza quotidiana. Un tappo di champagne per loro è uno sgabello, un francobollo un quadro d'autore e un pezzo degli scacchi una statua a grandezza naturale. Non sono banali folletti, ma piccolissimi uomini e piccolissime donne terribilmente veri: un padre, una madre e una figlia adolescente, Arietta, smaniosa di uscire dal soffocante appartamento costruito sotto il pavimento. Quando però Arietta viene vista da un bambino in vacanza alla villa, si scatena il panico in tutta la famiglia: perché per gli Sgraffignoli essere visti significa la fine.
