Once upon a time, in a small village at the edge of a dense forest, there lived a young girl named Eliza. Eliza was known for her love of adventure and her fascination with magic. While the other children played outside, Eliza would spend hours in her room, poring over books about witches and wizards. One day, as Eliza was rummaging through the attic, she stumbled upon an old, dusty book. Its pages were yellowed and worn, but the illustrations inside were vibrant and captivating. The book was titled "The Witch's Magical Journey.
The book was titled "The Witch's Magical Journey." Intrigued, Eliza settled down on her bedroom floor and began flipping through the pages. Each illustration depicted a different scene from the witch's journey through enchanted forests, mystical potions, and spellbinding creatures.
a lucky find – the lion, the witch and the wardrobe
I went into one of our local used book stores the other day and made a great find – an illustrated abridged version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
I’ve wanted to bring J in to the world of Narnia for some time, but we started with The Magician’s Nephew and I believe she got bored. The story jumped around a lot. I think that The Lion is a more cohesive story and J immediately got sucked in to it. She thought I had brought home yet another library book and when she realized that she got to keep this one she was incredibly excited. I also purchased a used copy of the full The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe knowing that at some point in the not to distant future she would want to read that as well.
What makes this book special is that it is not a dumbed-down version of the story and it is filled with absolutely beautiful illustrations. There are other illustrated versions out there, we just got lucky to find this one at a used shop. The original is still the best, but sometimes these editions help draw our kids in.
Here are some other illustrated versions I was able to find online.
aimed at ages 4-8 graphic novel – age 8+

Eliza was transfixed. As she read the accompanying text, Eliza discovered that the book was not just any ordinary storybook. It was a guide to becoming a witch. The book contained instructions on performing spells, brewing potions, and honing magical abilities. Eliza's heart swelled with excitement. Determined to become a witch, Eliza spent every spare moment practicing the spells and potions described in the book.

She could conjure small flames, make flowers bloom out of season, and communicate with animals. The villagers began to notice Eliza's newfound abilities and whispered amongst themselves about the young witch in their midst. One day, word reached Eliza that a wicked sorcerer had cast a curse on the village, causing plants to wither and animals to fall ill.

She fought off menacing creatures, overcame treacherous riddles, and navigated through hidden traps. With each test, Eliza's confidence grew stronger. Finally, Eliza reached the sorcerer's lair, a dark and foreboding cave. Inside, the sorcerer stood, his eyes shining with malice. Eliza bravely approached him and challenged him to lift the curse he had cast upon the village. The sorcerer sneered and conjured a powerful spell, aiming it at Eliza. But Eliza was prepared. With a swift flick of her wand and a heartfelt incantation, she deflected the sorcerer's spell and released a wave of healing energy. The curse was broken. The plants in the village began to thrive, and the animals regained their health. The villagers praised and thanked Eliza for her bravery and magic. She had saved the village from the sorcerer's wickedness. With her newfound reputation as a powerful witch, Eliza continued to use her magic to help those in need. Her book, "The Witch's Magical Journey," became a treasured artifact, passed down from generation to generation. And so, Eliza's story turned from a mere illustrated tale into a living legend, inspiring young girls and boys to follow their dreams and embrace the magic that lies within them..
