Steffan Rhodri (Gavin and Stacey, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) gives an enchanting reading performance of CS Lewis’s timeless classic, as we step into the magical world of Narnia, filled with adventure, courage and Turkish Delight. \n\nWhen young Second World War evacuee Lucy Pevensie hides in an old wardrobe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finds herself transported to a magical land which has been frozen in an eternal winter by the evil White Witch.\n\nLucy’s brothers and sister dismiss stories of this strange new world and talking animals, but the four siblings are soon all in Narnia, fighting alongside the noble lion Aslan to defeat the witch and her mighty army. The children learn of an ancient prophecy and must navigate betrayal, sacrifice and their own courage to help free Narnia from the Witch's tyrannical grip. \n\nTheir journey transforms them from ordinary children into heroes as they face epic battles and profound choices, leading to a climactic confrontation that will determine the fate of Narnia and fulfil the prophecy.
