Which C.S. Lewis book was adapted into the 1955 BBC television series The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?

The 1955 BBC television series was adapted from C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

The novel, first published in 1950, introduces the land of Narnia through the experiences of Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie. Lucy discovers Narnia by entering a wardrobe, and the children become involved in the conflict between Aslan and the White Witch.

The BBC adaptation was the first screen adaptation of a Narnia book. It was broadcast in 1955, only a few years after the novel’s publication. Later television and film versions used different production styles and adapted additional books.

The Narnia books can be read in publication order or in the internal chronological order sometimes used by publishers. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was the first published Narnia novel, although The Magician’s Nephew is set earlier in Narnian history.
