"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis is a classic children's fantasy novel and the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia series. The story follows four siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, who discover a magical world called Narnia hidden within a wardrobe in an old country house. In Narnia, the children become embroiled in a prophecy that states that four human children will help defeat the White Witch, who has cursed the land with eternal winter. Edmund, however, is tempted by the witch's offer of Turkish Delight and his own desire for power, and betrays his siblings to her.
