Description
Generations of readers have entered the magical world of Narnia with its talking animals, giants and dwarfs. Now, with this new series of picture books, younger children can share the magic. Set in C. S. Lewis's much-loved Narnia, characters old and new have thrilling adventures that children are sure to enjoy.
It's early morning in the marshes and Puddleglum the Marsh-wiggle and Lally the little Wigglet are fishing peacefully when they hear the unmistakable sound of... giants!
When the roaring, raging, rock-throwing giants use their fishing rods to kidnap two Talking Mice for their Mice Pie, Lally and her uncle bravely give chase. The subsequent journey is full of action, excitement and the biggest, muddiest, messiest sandwiches you've ever seen!
